U S Senate candidate Andy Martin fights to save Manchester Airport as facility is endangered by American Airlines merger
New Hampshire U. S. Senate candidate Andy Martin will hold a
New York City news conference
Thursday, November 14th to announce he will fight approval of the proposed antitrust
settlement allowing American Airlines and U S Airways to merge. “The settlement
is bad for New Hampshire , and
could be fatal for Manchester Airport Manchester
will be high on the hit list. Jeanne Shaheen is, as usual, asleep at the
switch, fatigued by too many late nights raising campaign cash in New
York City and hobnobbing with Senator Charles Schumer.
The settlement tilts the competitive balance sharply in
favor of Logan , and against Manchester .
I urge the New Hampshire business
community to join me in fighting to amend the proposed antitrust settlement to
include strong protections for Manchester
Airport

New Hampshire Republican U. S. Senate candidate
Andy Martin launches opposition to proposed settlement and approval of American
Airlines merger
Andy says the terms of a proposed settlement of
an antitrust suit against U S Airways and American Airlines could doom
Manchester Airport
Andy’s antitrust experience becomes a vital asset
for the People of New Hampshire
(Manchester , NH November 14, 2013 ) New
Hampshire Republican U. S. Senate candidate Andy Martin will hold a New
York news conference today, Thursday, November 14th
to announce he will oppose the proposed settlement of the antitrust lawsuit
filed by the Department of Justice against American Airlines and U S Airways.
“The settlement terms of this lawsuit will doom Manchester
Airport Logan
Airport Manchester
Airport
“Sadly, the states that were co-plaintiffs in the antitrust action
made out well in the settlement, and the states such as New
Hampshire that did not join the lawsuit were left out
in the cold.
“Manchester Airport New England .
But the airport’s competitive position has been eroding because of the earlier
airline mergers. The merger of U S Airways could be the final nail in the
coffin. I urge the New Hampshire
business community to wake up before it is too late. We need to form a united front and petition the
federal court in Washington to
amend the proposed final judgment to add protections for Manchester
Airport
“Nineteen years ago I created the Committee to Fight
Microsoft and revolutionized antitrust law (please see group link #1 below). At
the time, state attorneys general had not developed a presence in high
technology litigation. I personally petitioned all fifty state attorneys
general to oppose the 1995 Microsoft settlement. I accurately predicted the
original [1995] settlement was defective and ineffective, and that the
settlement would only be followed by a second round of antitrust litigation,
which is what happened. My antitrust expertise and my analysis have stood the
test of time. I acted as a catalyst to energize state attorneys general to ‘get
involved’ in high technology litigation. In 1995 they were absent; by the time
of the second Microsoft lawsuit they had become major players.
“Ultimately the American Airlines/U S Airways merger is
going to be approved. But I will fight to see that the proposed
judgment/settlement is amended to include favorable terms for Manchester
Airport Manchester
is in dire danger of losing non-stop flights to New York ’s
LaGuardia Airport
“New Hampshire
competitive economic position, and that of adjacent areas of Maine
and Vermont , are bolstered by the
presence of a strong Manchester Airport Manchester
Airport New
Hampshire and the surrounding region will also suffer
a competitive loss. New Hampshire
officials have been ignoring the decline and competitive erosion of Manchester
Airport Manchester
Airport
“I am the only U. S. Senate candidate who understands the challenges
facing Manchester Airport Washington . Shaheen
goes to New York to collect
campaign cash and to take orders from her liberal handlers. But Shaheen has
done nothing to protect Manchester Airport New Hampshire
depend on a strong Manchester Airport
“Because the proposed AA/U S Airways agreement strengthens Logan ,
if changes are not made the lights will eventually go out at Manchester
