C|M|Law’s James A. Thomas Distinguished Professor of Law Chris Sagers, who was quoted last week on the issue in the Wall Street Journal [http://online.wsj.com/news/article_email/SB10001424052702303559504579196173938040380-lMyQjAxMTAzMDEwMzExNDMyWj] and in the New York Times [http://www.nytimes.com/2013/11/16/business/baffling-about-face-in-american-us-airways-merger.html?pagewanted=2&_r=0&ref=commonsense], appeared on National Public Radio today to talk about the pending merger of U.S. Airways and American Airlines.  Sagers appeared on the program “On Point with Tom Ashbrook,” a production of WBUR in Boston that is distributed on public radio in 260 American cities.  He discussed the settlement of federal challenge to the merger, whether the terms of settlement would likely achieve desirable goals, and what may have motivated the agency to settle.
