The lawsuit is really just a part of the negotiating process, right? It's the way they make their case and try to get JetBlue to divest some gates/ slots and then ultimately it'll go through?

Hopefully.

but now the DOT is suing to block the merger as well as the DOJ. So is this 2 hurdles to go over?

Default Pete Buttigieg is a joke.

First with the NOTAM’s, now for the first time ever in history the DOT is suing to stop a merger. This guy is a joke and he does nothing but political grandstanding.

can anybody think of anything good that this guy has done for aviation?

Your homophobia is shining through as it has nothing to do with the person.

in 2001, a United-US Airways merger fell through after the DOJ threatened to go to court.

I mention nothing about his sexual orientation… sorry you brought that up not me.

And secondly that quote you brought up is the DOJ sueing not the DOT…

come back to me when you have your facts straight.

but I like how that guy attacked me for being homophobic even though I mention nothing about it…

but I guess that’s just how people argue these days… cheap shots like that.


and by the way homophobic isn’t even a proper word choice.

it would be anti-Homo.

because homophobic would mean you’re afraid of homos… another cheap shot by the progressive left.

From your own linked article DOT and DOJ

The Department of Transportation (DOT) and the Department of Justice (DOJ) filed an antitrust lawsuit in a federal court in Boston on Tuesday (Mar. 7), with the intention of blocking the deal. State attorneys from New York, Massachusetts, and Washington DC joined the lawsuit.

oh my god you’re stupid!

Yes and all the mergers in the past it is only been the DOJ that sues.

this time it is different. For the first time ever the DOT (and the DOJ) by Pete Buttigieg, because Elizabeth Warren went on a rant on Twitter encouraging him to do so.
