The Department of Justice is acting like a 50 year old teenager. WAIT! That's MY job!!

Today, the Department of Justice showed how juvenile they were where Airlines 101 is concerned.

I'll admit, I took great pleasure listening to conversations of others....AS A TEENAGER.

I'll admit, I took great pleasure holding information against others ...AS A TEENAGER. Oh yeah, and as a DRUNK (of old).

Today, the DOJ decided it had important email information and quotes about how the new American leaders planned on raising prices and fees after the merger. Really! Was there any doubt? Where has the DOJ been the last 30 years of deregulation? Have they misplaced the long list of defunct airlines like their homework. Maybe the dog ate it.

Has the DOJ forgotten how low the profit margins are of airlines? Apparently word on the street is that Daddy has a few extra dollars these days, so let's spend it all by not planning for the future. Oh well, when it's gone, it's gone. Obviously, the DOJ views US Airways and American as big Daddies because they have a few bucks in their pockets. But like any child, they have no understanding that being an adult sometimes cost money. In this case, the DOJ is very juvenile.

The DOJ and their tactics have me suspicious. Why now? They know there is broad support of this merger. Plans are in place. Managers have been hired. Who pissed off the 13 year old (Eric Holder)? Perhaps your gang of buddies over at a few other airlines are jealous of the merger and need a bully.

That's really cute...when you're a teenager. But we are talking about the realities of a business. A business that rarely flourishes and must be smart to survive even if it means merging in GOOD TIMES.

Meanwhile, every teenager likes a good NFL football game. Check out the prices and tell me if Daddy flinches at taking you to a game at today's cost of living increased prices.


Perhaps Eric Holder needs to take HIS kids to a professional football game and experience TRUE price gauging. Meanwhile, please educate yourself on the airline industry as an adult....and not a teenager.
