That means very little. It's backwardly phrased to promote the company making that statement.
What would matter what % of companies that have been rated 40 and below on their scale have actually failed, and within what amount of time. That could be anything between 0.1% and 99.9%, and anything from 1 week to a century, but this statement doesn't shed any light on what that value is.
And while AA is shown the lowest in two categories (short term and longer term), UA is virtually the same low rating for longer term as AA is.
Finally, there's no mention of airlines outside the top 4. But if an airline outside the top 4 fails first, that might help some of the top 4 at that point.
