Warranty work should continue to be piad, and honored..... as indicated in a earlier post, from a comment made by Winnisquam Marine.

Many companies file Chapter 11, it doesn't mean they are ready to go belly up.....

A notable company still around after Chapter 11........ Sears.......
Correct. Another notable company that filed for Chapter 11 bancruptcy is K-Mart. Chapter 7 is the very end of the road where owners should start to be concerned. Chapter 11 is like you said, restructuring. Laying off workers is unfortunately a normal part of that "restructure".
