Sure, let's flesh this out. What does this mean? UA will dump capacity on JB routes and then...? JB goes Ch11? Restructures and comes out with lower costs and/or a new partnership with XYZ airline? I don't see how this would help the long game for UA to "put the screws" to JB? A Ch11 filing for JB would be the end of any association with UA and opening the door for all sorts of possibilities with other carriers.
