"United's pilots have the contractual right to handle its flying. But one exception to this rule, negotiated during United's three-year bankruptcy, applies to joint ventures formed by United and Star Alliance partners, such as Aer Lingus."

That is clearly JV flying, NOT open skies agreements or cabotage.

They are different. No pilot contract Section 1 protects you against open skies or cabotage.

JV flying is something that can be regulated via Section 1.

Apples and oranges.
