It would have been weird and made absolutely 0 sense if they had merged but kept 2 separate airlines, just like it would have been pointless if DL/NW had merged but we kept running 2 separate airlines.


did the DOJ, who reports to the POTUS, sue to stop this merger? If yes then those two entities had a direct adverse effect on NK and B6.
