The Boston NEA party: The Tipline for 10 June 2022

The Department of Justice is shipping up to Boston in an effort to dump American Airlines and JetBlue’s Northeast Alliance (NEA) into the harbour. A Massachusetts federal court has rejected the airlines’ motion to dismiss the Antitrust Division’s challenge to their partnership, setting up a trial for late September. Also in Tipline, the division sweeps the floor with a plea agreement and drug rebates get the attention of the Federal Trade Commission.
