The DOJ lobbed a large bomb into the middle of the AA/US merger. They pointed
out that US has a lot of lowball connecting fares that competitors often match,
and have lots of swell quotes from airline execs about how wonderful mergers
are because then they can raise prices.
The US lawyer said that they only compete on 12 (or some similar low number)
nonstop routes, which sounds to me like a weak attempt to change the topic.
Will US and American cut a deal? What could they do to make DOJ happy?
R's,
