The offloaded pensions were only a small albeit significant part of GM’s total pension obligation. basically for such and transaction to be accreditive, the company need to have excess cash on hand to give away as a “dowry” otherwise, no insurance company would take it.

In a way, this would be a business that Berkshire would be able to do. They have the credit rating and the Long term focus to take short term volatility for a fairly certain long term gain. Since they have not done so, I am guessing that they don’t see the risk return as favorable right now.
