Avianca's majority shareholder (used shares as collateral) breached UCH loan terms

Saw this Article on Bloomberg Today:
The self-made millionaire imperiled the airline’s future by last year offering up his 51.5% stake in Avianca as collateral on a loan from United Continental Holdings Inc. His holding company BRW Aviation quickly breached terms of the contract and, as a result, control of Avianca could pass to United’s hands.

Any thoughts on how things would change if United took over the controlling stake in Avianca? JV pricing? Turn it into Copa version 2?
