Best to hope for is that judge approves the deal and let's it continue while the appeal plays out.

Let's first win the thing before we worry about what would happen if we did.

I'm thinking there will be a settlement at a late hour.
The way I see it the DOJ has an opportunity to look really good with no risk by settling.
If it goes to trial and the DOJ loses, nobody gets any slots. If it goes to trial and the DOJ wins, nobody gets any slots.
No political advantage if no one gets anything from us, very risky and politicians don't like risk!
