Texas Drops Out of DOJ Suit Against American/US Airways
Texas, one of six states to join the Department of Justice's complaint against the proposed American Airlines/US Airways merger, has withdrawn from the lawsuit after the carriers agreed to continue existing services to the state's airports. Texas' withdrawal is unlikely to have a significant bearing on the trial.
Also today, the presiding judge has denied the DOJ's request for a postponement due to the federal government shutdown. The DOJ attorneys assigned to the case are now expected to continue working on the case despite the shutdown.
