Which I don't think would be a negative turn of events big picture. A big IF the talks break down (I don't see happening), that probably means the airlines won't give in to the DOJ's unrealistic concessions and are VERY confident they will win in court. The airlines won't be giving up so much that they lose their competitive advantage and synergies of the merger.
