The DOJ/DOT only has authority when slot restricted limited entry airports are involved. Look at SWA/AirTran and BWI. Not a peep about that because anyone can walk into BWI and start service tomorrow. The cat is already out of the bag in terms of eliminating competition, and now the LCCs and ULCCs will take part.
Any future merger will come under intense scrutiny, just my guess but the DOJ will probably try to draw a line in the sand. This of course is dependent on which party holds onto the Executive Branch.

Seriously it's been quite some time already. He must be busy picking the new paint job and uniforms already. If I've learned anything from 3 airlines, it's that when a new head comes in they have to mark their territory with paint and fabric, even when you are broke during a bankruptcy and asking for paycuts.....OR maybe he's been working super hard to secure the pilots and flight attendants new industry leading compensation packages?

This is true I don't see an Allegiant Merger with Anyone, at least until Maury leaves, he doesn't play well with others.

Don't think this is correct. The DOJ can conduct an antitrust review to determine whether any merger results in an anticompetitive situation. The DOT only assists in this determination.
Any future merger will come under intense scrutiny, just my guess but the DOJ will probably try to draw a line in the sand. This of course is dependent on which party holds onto the Executive Branch.

I have a question to all those who appear to stay awake at night worrying about a merger: should one happen, do you plan to quit? If the answer to that is no, then why even think about it? Not that I have anything against anyone senior to me quitting, it just seems pointless to worry about things over which one has exactly zero control...

If the rumor of a merger is enough to stress anyone out, may be time to punch the eject button from this career at this time.
