The attorneys general of six states plus the US DOJ have filed suit to block the merger of AA and US as anti-competitive and against consumers interests:

I am glad to see one of the leaders involved finally doing something right!

I find it amazing that it OK for DL and NW, UA and CO, SWA and AirTran to merge but not AA and Useless Air. Need to check who contributed to who the last Presidential election.

I think the DOJ was asleep at the switch on the huge negatives for consumers in all these mergers, and they have finally woken up. Better late than never.
