Provided the cost is saddled by shareholders and not taxpayers. I agree, let UA go into CH11, dump the shareholders, dump the aircraft orders for equipment they won't need for a decade at least, get labor back to the bargaining table to negotiate contracts that are more realistic given the new normal of cratered business travel and a semi-permanent shift to leisure.
