Atty. General Scott Pruitt wrote
to Atty. General Eric Holder, requesting him of allowing the proposed merger
among American Airlines and US Airways Wings to continue.
The combat within the American
Airlines-US Airways Wings antitrust court action is moving one state to another
since Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt requested the Department of
Justice to drop the case.
Although Oklahoma just is not
among the 6 states and Washington, D.C., which have become a member of the
federal law suit to close the particular merger, Pruitt asked Lawyer General
Eric Holder to take into account the side of the particular states.
“Not permitting the actual merger
to be able to continue produces ongoing uncertainness for the many American
Airlines’ employees, one of the greatest private-sector organizations in America,
- Pruitt claims in his letter to Atty. General Eric Holder. ‘Only in Tulsa,
American utilizes greater than 6,000 employees at the facility of maintenance. Those
workers have experienced vagueness over the past twenty one months while
expecting the court’s approval of their plan of reorganization.’
The request of Pruitt arrived
within a day in which airline flight attendants of American Airlines started
lobbying Virginia to drop out the suit against the merger.
The particular Department Of
Justice filed suit to bar the particular merger in August, stating that joining
the country's fourth- and fifth-biggest airlines might limit competition and hurt
customers in a market which has been joining together for more than 10 years.
Arizona Lawyer General Greg
Abbott declared that his express was dropping out of the particular lawsuit
after a deal was cast to be able to preserve the international airports’ services
in Texas, maintain a significant center in Dallas-Fort Worth and keep up the
company's head office in Fort worth.
