They didn't use the word "forced" but their backers already had a fleet 
of 737's they needed to put to work so a better word would be that Bonza 
was obligated to use those aircraft.

"The large Boeing 737s are arguably the wrong fit for Bonza, flying

soak up the US backer's fleet and provide it with income".
