U.S.: American Airlines/Sabre antitrust suit possibly delayed due to judge recusal
Texas state Judge Don Cosby was recently recused from a lawsuit filed against Sabre Inc. by American Airlines Inc.

The recusal will likely push back the hearing, whose opening statements were slated to begin tomorrow. American Airlines has accused Sabre of obscuring AA fares in customer searches on the distribution system.
