But JL has already almost estinguished all its debt under past bankruptcy but is still bleeding cash like crazy.

If it's a OW benefit, it's not really up to them - they'd really have to withdraw from OW if they make a policy of denying access based on COS. COS is as much of a means of access as being OW Emerald/Sapphire. Some employees (of all airlines) may be misinformed on the rules but if JL decides to make standard policy of it, it's hard to imagine that they could stay in OW.
