FILE - In this Wednesday, March 19, 2014 file photo, David Samson, chairman of The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, walks out of the board of commissioners monthly meeting in Jersey City, N.J. United Airlines created a special route from Newark to Columbia, S.C., near the weekend home of the Port Authority's then-chairman, Samson. The flights ended just three days after Samson resigned his Port Authority post. Prosecutors are examining whether the 50-seat flights were part of a scheme to entice the Port Authority to grant United its requests at the Newark airport. (AP Photo/Julio Cortez)
