If the PBGC (Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation) deems the Plan to be in danger of collapsing, they will step in and take over the Plan, and fund the benefits. I am not sure of the PBGC's standing in Bankruptcy, but it may be similar to that of IRS (ie, a 900 lb gorilla).

Solvent Companies cannot simply walk away from Defined Benefit Plan obligations. ERISA is applicable.
