What airline mergers have been stopped by a lawsuit not brought by the federal government?
who would have had standing to sue that would not have benefited from the merger?
who sued to stop AS/HA, or SY/G4, or any of the legacy behemoths?
the only people who wanted that merger to fail were the legacies and the Biden administration. And from what I could gather at the time, it was so they could set a precedent to use against big tech companies
