In AWECO, this court held that a court may approve a compromise or settlement that forms part of a plan of reorganization only when it is "fair and equitable." "The words 'fair and equitable' are terms of art--they mean that 'senior interests are entitled to full priority over junior ones.' " Id. at 278. 33 The O'Neill Group contends that, under the "fair and equitable" standard, the bankruptcy court may also consider whether the settlement is fair and equitable to the debtor's employees.
