The 18.5 billion isn't the pension shortfall. There isn't any agreement on what the pension shortfall actually is, but my guess is it might be a tenth of that. I wouldn't expect large pension cuts. The unfunded retiree healthcare benefits, on the other hand, are much larger and are probably going to be severely cut if not eliminated.
