Congressman Burgess’ Statement on Justice Department Interference
in the American Airlines Merger
“As a frequent traveler, I have first-hand knowledge of the depths of frustration and anxiety that American Airlines workers have suffered during the bankruptcy. I was looking forward to the resolution of this long process and the stability that the merger would offer. Unfortunately, the Department of Justice has interfered with what should be a normal business development. This could hurt thousands of airline employees. I will do everything within my power to assist these employees during this arduous transition and stop the federal governments’ misguided interference.” ###
