UAL to revive KSMF-KIAD flights

Responding to an upstart competitor, United Airlines said Thursday it is
reviving its daily nonstop service from Sacramento to Washington, D.C.

Is it wise for a bankrupt airline with limited resources and high cost
structure to try to compete against a low cost carrier in a predatory fashion ?

If United didn't think it could make money as the sole carrier on this route
before today, how come magically, with a low cost carrier competing with lower
prices, could UA think it could now make some money ?

And if UA will be losing money on the route, why would the bankrupcy judge
allow this ?

One can understand AA spending megabucks to kill off Legend in Dallas and
succeeding since Legend was an upstart and AA wasn't bankrupt. But United is
nowhere near being in good enough shape to kill off JetBlue. It is more likely
to be the other way around.
