An interesting question is whether UA sold or just leased the NYC-LON route authority that it bought from Pan Am and was using for JFK-LHR. I don't remember and while I could probably look it up, I'm sure someone here already knows.
If it was sold, then I doubt they can just add JFK-LHR even if they want to (unless someone is looking to dump the route). If it's leased, there's probably a term or cancellation provision that could give it back (if they cared).
