This may not be the DOJ playing hard ball as it may be Doug Parker playing hard ball because of how strong the AA case is.
I am amazed that the Washington community wold rather have less direct service and more one-stop service.
Look I understand you want the merger to go on but do you really think Airways should have that many slots at DCA?
Doug playing hard ball is what got him into this, he should have divested some slots an kept his mouth shut.
