WASHINGTON, D.C. – This morning, Congressman Marc Veasey (TX-33) made the following statement US Airways-American Airlines merger press conference and rally which takes place in Washington today at 12:00 p.m.:
"American Airlines and US Airways joining together to form the new American is critical for the viability of both air carriers and a benefit to air passengers and the thousands of employees of both of these companies. Finalizing this deal means job security for over 24,000 Texans.”
“I am confident that the civil process involving this deal will show that a successful merger is in everyone’s best interest and am working with Congressman Pastor to send a letter to the administration later this week asking them to reconsider their challenge to this merger. I hope our colleagues in the House will join us in that effort.”
