This is not the kind of language expected to come down from the bench during an anti-trust, or any trial.
The judge is an idiot, and the defense failed to recognize that or educate him.
Personally I'm optimistic about the appeal, but I think some renegotiations are called for.
The landscape has changed and $3.8B is too much. If the appeal favors the defense, the surviving airline needs it's best shot at survival and growth considering the challenges ahead including P&W.
