There were a lot of points to be made about this whole thing, which caused a massive change in how Delta now handles it's regional model. Delta can now hold a constant threat to regional feed that if you don't hold up your end of the bargain, you will go away, through proof of what happened to Comair. So, in my opinion, there is a large "why, we will show them" mentality with this whole thing, which is still evident today.
Actually the shut down was more of an unintended consequence of the bankruptcy vs some vendetta.
As I said before, if you weren't actually there and understood what happened from being inside it and involved with it, then you can't really intelligently speak about it.
But everyone does love a conspiracy theory... Just witness this presidential election cycle.
Enjoy.
