UA should have made a similar announcement before DL beat them to the punch. Again, it will be UA following DL's lead.

This could have been major damage control for UA when they need it. Instead, UA management in "the windy city" blew a great PR opportunity.

DL had the lowest IDB rates of any other major carrier, because they pay more. I posted this up-thread.
the accountant in me would prefer less cash outflows overall. WN has a high IDB ratio yet they do better.

of course you need to set a sweet spot for VDB to avoid getting Dao'd. But simply having more IDB isn't a bad thing.
