I think more likely than not their may be certain contractual terms with debtors and or insurance provisions that may only be valid in the event of an active AOC, with penalties if licence is revoked.
But it is ridiculous that across the US and most of Europe, airlines can apply for some degree of bankruptcy protection to at least try fix things whilst maintaining an AOC.
