How well were United's shareholders treated when United went bankrupt? I have absolutely no doubt that United views bankruptcy as just another business strategy (mainly used to screw employees by invalidating labor contracts) and just doesn't care about the effect on shareholders.
Please, please understand that no major legacy carrier is run to benefit the customers, employees, OR shareholders. They exist for one and only one reason: to ensure that top management keeps getting those 8 figure salaries and bonuses, no matter what.
