The department is suing alongside Democratic attorneys general from six states and the District of Columbia. They call Spirit a "disruptive and innovative airline" whose low-cost, no-frills model has forced price cuts industry-wide. The airlines counter that allowing the deal to go forward would strengthen JetBlue's own long-standing reputation as a market disruptor.
