Trans World Airlines Inc.`s pilots union, one of two key holdouts in a plan to sell the airline to creditors and employees, reported progress in talks on the proposal. The union was seeking assurances that if the airline or parts of it were sold, its members would get jobs with the buyer, said Mark Spiegel, spokesman for the TWA branch of the Air Line Pilots Association. The union also wanted guarantees that its members would receive their full pensions, beyond what is protected by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corp., he said. TWA filed for Chapter 11 protection from its creditors in January and has been losing a reported $1 million a day.
