Does anyone know why United is pushing flights with ANA over United? Thanks

If ANA is cheaper, it means that there is more discount inventory available on those flights than on the UA flights. UA isn't pushing flights with ANA -- they don't care which one you fly. They're just offering the lowest fares available, which happen to be on ANA for the day(s) you're looking.
