***don't hold me to it*** But IIRC, in the spirit of sbm12's post. I seem to recall less then a year after UA sold this, some sort of agreement/treaty made the above sale worthless to DL.
However Id be very surprised if there wasnt a non-compete clause in the transaction. Basically for X yrs UA can not fly between JFK & LHR, so even if it was possible to do so they wouldnt be able to since DL would sue them and win.

Dont know if codeshares were also a part, if yes then look for the CO/VS sharing to end at least in regards to JFK, since it would be UA/VS
