Prague-Chicago O'Hare |
| Service List |
On January 5, 1999, CSA filed with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) a request for the twice weekly slots at O'Hare. From its previous operations to O'Hare, CSA was and remains aware that it should have requested slots for the 1999 summer season no later than October 15, 1998. However, it was not until this month that CSA was able to finalize plans for obtaining one additional Airbus A310-300 and, as a consequence, CSA was unable to make its request in a more timely manner. Nevertheless, and following its request of January 5, 1999, CSA was advised by the FAA on January 6, 1999 that its request was not timely, that in any event the FAA had no slots to allocate, and that, to obtain its requested slots, CSA was required to file this Application with the Department of Transportation (DOT) seeking those slots. CSA has thus exhausted all available procedures for slot acquisition. CSA is not proposing to introduce a new service but merely to resume a service that it operated for four years but was forced to curtail in 1996 because of equipment problems. In addition, CS'A holds a foreign air carrier permit, issued pursuant to Order 96-10-46, specifically authorizing CSA to operate air services between Prague and Chicago.

Love Field Service Interpretation Proceeding
| OST-98-4363 | January 12, 1999 | Petition of Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport
Board for Reconsideration of Declatory Order 98-12-27 |
Love Field |  HTML |
| Exhibit A: Final Judgement |
DFW Airport specifically requests that the Department reconsider the validity of its rulings on three federal law issues as set forth in sub-rulings (i), (ii), and (iii) of the Concluding Paragraph 1 at pages 61-62 of that Order. These issues were previously decided by District Judge Bob McCoy in City of Fort Worth. Texas v. City of Dallas. et al., Tarrant County District Court No. 48-171109-97 ("Fort Worth case"). The Department's rulings are directly contrary to the validly issued rulings in that state court case, which rulings, consistent with 28 U.S.C. § 1738, must be given full faith and credit by a federal administrative agency such as the DOT. Town of Deerfield N.Y. v. FCC, 992 F.2d 420 (Fd Cir. 1993). Accordingly, DFW Airport requests that DOT, in light of the state court decision, vacate sub-rulings (i), (ii), and (iii) because those rulings are inconsistent with Judge McCoy's December 16, 1998 Final Judgment in the Fort Worth case.

It is also no excuse that Fort Worth has obtained limited discovery from Legend and Continental. Several critical ex parte communications between the Department and those parties have "disappeared". Among the missing items is a June 28th draft of the Department's response to oral questions posed to it by Continental Express', which was sent by Tom Ray to Rebecca Cox, lobbyist for Continental. Although Rebecca Cox testified she received the letter from Tom Ray on June 28, 1998, Continental claims the document has been lost. As a result, if Fort Worth is to obtain this key evidence, it must be from the Department.
Because the Department intimated that its decision might be different if evidence was presented on certain issues, the City of Fort Worth joins with the DEW Airport Board in petitioning the Department for a reconsideration of this matter in light of the evidence referenced in the DEW Airport Board's Petition for Reconsideration. Alternatively, Fort Worth petitions the Department for a hearing. With a full understanding of the parameters of this proceeding, Fort Worth will present evidence supporting its position that the longstanding limitations on Love Field are necessary for the public convenience and safety of the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
