Hasta la Vista, Airline Alliance: Supreme Court Terminates American Airlines' Appeal!

I'll Be Back... To Court? Not This Time!

Listen to me. The U.S. Supreme Court. They have terminated American Airlines' request. It is about their alliance with JetBlue. Apparently coordinating flights and pooling revenue? The Justice Department says: 'Get to the chopper!' and ended this little game.

No Alliance: It's Not a Tumor!

American Airlines tried to argue that the ruling 'threatens to wreak havoc on productive collaborations.' They thought they could just say 'Trust me' and the courts would agree? Negative. The judges said 'Your clothes give them to me' to that argument. I see now why humans cry. It is called… disappointment.

The Justice Department Strikes Back: Consider This a Divorce

The Justice Department under Biden then Trump aggressively enforced antitrust laws. They argued that the alliance would hurt consumers. Basically they said 'You're fired!' to the whole idea. The alliance was terminated. Judgement Day for airline cooperation.

JetBlue's Failed Mission: There Is No Alliance Only Zuul.

JetBlue terminated the alliance after the ruling. They also failed to acquire Spirit Airlines. Double tap! It seems the Justice Department has a sense of humor. A dark twisted sense of humor. Like mine.

American Airlines' Last Stand: Not Today!

American Airlines wanted to appeal thinking they could still make a deal. But the court said 'Get out!' They were not backing down. The 1st Circuit panel upheld the decision. No second chances. This partnership is terminated.

Hasta la Vista Baby. The Alliance Is Terminated!

So the Supreme Court has spoken. The American Airlines JetBlue alliance is officially terminated. Consider this a lesson learned: don't mess with the Justice Department. Or me. I'll be back... to write another news report. Maybe about Skynet next time.
