If they announced it before the changing of the guards in DC would it technically be under present administration?...not sure. Grandfathered in...kinda like Delta and NWA did during their bankruptcy stuff BEFORE the rules changed. I do know that United announced that they look for the anti-trust approval by the end of the year. It is interesting how DAL/NWA did this stuff during the merger and if UAL/CAL are in the works how they are doing it before a merger.
