We are the small challenger and we are losing customers and money, and we are now on the hook for this merger.
You should be concerned.
Let's assume you are correct and B6 is in on the edge of CH11 or CH7, then those facts substantiate the argument to rule in B6's favor by the Judge (Pro-Business). If B6's future truly is on the brink of failure, then how does that help competition for the consumer (DOJ position). The government in it's DOJ case would in effect be eliminating a DOJ proven disrupter, the "JetBlue and Spirit effect" would be eliminated by attrition. Therefore, helping support the case for a favorable ruling, and the Stock Price will probably double. Will you still be concerned if the DOJ case is approved for B6/NK and the Stock price double's?
