Think of it this way, if the DOJ had solid ground to sue they would have done so already. They have shown us their cards and I believe the merger will likely go through. If they do opt to sue, the DOJ will surly not win in court.

Similar to the communiques you get with things like SLIs, big incidents, etc. Although in this case I don't think too many AS pilots are on the edge of their seats over this, that would be the other guys.

This isn't quite like B6/NK, which would have eliminated a huge chunk of ULCC capacity to the detriment of the poors.
Also the election could place any such lawsuit in doubt.

That could very well be. They're trying to extract concessions at this point so they can at least tell the progressives that they didn't let big bad business get away scot free.

The JB/Spirit merger would have produced a single company with nearly 500 aircraft and eliminated ULCC seats.
HA/AS Is less than 300 aircraft including about 2 dozen widebodies. There is some overlap in the West Coast flying, but not much otherwise.

I guess, we should ask the question. If this merger of two companies without much overlap and fairly common culture doesn't work, then what merger does work? It seems that the DOJ wants DAL, UA and AAL to successed as all others can't get to that size without merging.
