But what did the judge just do? Same result.

There are no set limits on the power the bankruptcy judge has other than the framework of section 1113, he can issue an opinion on anything. However the basis of a rejected contract is labor law and associated government rules and regulations. Just because one judge thinks the RLA is null and void, doesn't mean it is.
AA has not ordered larger RJ's as of this time because it does not have a consensual agreement with its pilots to operate those aircraft. That supposed gun against your head is imaginary.
