“Earlier this year, the DOT finished its thorough review of the NEA and concluded it had the potential to increase competition, allowing the airlines to move forward with the partnership with additional safeguards in place to ensure growth and competition in the Northeast.
We want to be clear: American and JetBlue are – and will remain – independent airlines. We do not intend to merge.
What we will do is continue to deliver on the promise of growth. This winter, the NEA will offer more than 700 daily flights from New York and Boston and continue investment to provide a seamless travel experience to customers. We look forward to rebutting the DOJ’s claims and proving the clear benefits the alliance brings to our team members and consumers in New York and Boston.”

Merger. Aren't you guys 60+Billion in debt? I'd say it be more like a fire sale at AA.

DOJs’ case is getting stronger. AA announced 27 routes being cut in NY and the NE. Shuttle is shutting down. Can’t even fly from NY to Boston on AA anymore. All flying will now be handled by Jetblue.
