I think you will see a lot of big Companies do this, taking advantage of the Virus Pandemic to unload some Debt.

Many will use this strategy as a shield to their benefit,  others will truly fold. Those that fold had symptoms previous to this down turn.

I noticed that the Hertz equipment rental depots recently changed their name to Herc.

Must have been a slow roll out. The signage only changed in the last year up here.

More bang for the buck with a name brand recognition of HERTZ vs HERC.

Too bad GM went BK already.
Now may be the time for Fiat to unload Dodge - they want to keep Jeep and Ram brands.
Ford will escape because their new profit centers Mustang Mach-E and Bronco are flying out of the dealer showrooms.

Not doom and gloom if used properly a bankruptcy filing is truly a competitive advantage. A bankruptcy can give a business breathing room to reorganize and create a plan to move forward to profitability, or it can stop the bleeding that can lead to seizure of  assets.The ability to temporarily suspend your debt-service obligations, pay only a portion of your current debts and dismiss contracts you've signed can help you be more efficient than your competitors, which must meet all of their obligations.

Not doom and gloom... ...pay only a portion of your current debts...

The stockholders, bondholders, and other creditors might disagree regarding that first part :-\
