The HUGE question is, what would those remedies be??? The fact that the DOJ was in a "my way or the highway" mode, might actually help with the judge's decision as JetBlue has already preemptively offered remedies, and anything additional would be decided by the judge and not negotiated with an obstinate DOJ.... We shall see...
