DOT hasn’t blocked a certificate transfer since deregulation. They’ll get handed their heads in court if they seriously try this.

Personally, I think this is a head fake by DOJ. They are going to lose the NEA issue and want leverage to get JetBlue to compromise on that so they can save face.

I think you overestimate the intelligence and skill of these people. I think the administration told them to do whatever it takes to block the merger, so that’s what they’re going to try to do. It is probably politically popular sadly.

A prominent court loss just before the election will not help them politically. Nor will an FAA administrator who knows little about aviation.

I mean it looks like this administration is ready to throw in the towel on the whole “student loan forgiveness” thing early on. Blocking B6/NK might just be another fight to lose for them at this point.

I’m pretty sure it already went through. I just flew with a guy that got over $10k forgiven. I’m looking forward to my refund check because I was responsible and paid mine.

We might as well bring back regulation at this point. We're 75% of the way there.

They’re to busy trying to put together quality lines for APR to worry much about the DOJ today…. Oh wait.

Posturing. The government that created the big three blocking number 5 is laughable. But, then again, if you you’ve been around during the last 3 years….
