My example was succinct, but it really depends on the (presumably confidential) contract details with each regional. I don’t think United would hesitate for a second to leverage any contractual leverage to conserve cash, even if a court might disagree 8 years later

That’s my take on it anyway. Let me know if I misunderstood something.
