Answer and Motion of Legend Airlines to Stay Joint Application

Scanned Copy

U.S.- U.K. Reciprocal Code-Sharing

American has engaged and continues to engage in actions taken for the sole purpose of eliminating competition. Every time that the Department approves new or enhanced international agreements adding to American’s partnerships/alliances, it: 1) allows American to add to its anti-competitive war chest; and 2) increases American’s domination and control over its hub while further closing the door on competition. If the Department does not suspend consideration of the American/British Airways application along with American’s other international applications and approves yet another alliance/partnership for American, it should take appropriate steps to ensure that: 1) American’s crusade against new entry is halted; and 2) domestic competitors can compete in all American markets on a level playing field.
