| OST-02-11327 | January 16, 2002 |  Answer
of United Air Lines |
Temporary Allocation of US-China Frequencies |
| Service List |
United has no objection to Northwest's proposal for
temporary allocation of three U.S.-China frequencies currently used by United to
provide Chicago-Beijing service provided that this temporary reallocation in no
way impairs United's ability to operate to China upon resumption of its
scheduled service on April 6/7 and provided that the temporary allocation will
preserve United's ability to continue during the suspension period to sell its
nonstop service on such resumed flights. Northwest's application notes its
intention to operate frequencies between January 30 and April 6. The Department
should be aware that United will operate from Chicago to Beijing on January 30,
arriving on Beijing on January 31, and from Beijing to Chicago on January 31 and
that it will resume service from Chicago to Beijing on April 6 and from Beijing
to Chicago on April 7. Any temporary reallocation of frequencies must allow
United to hold out its scheduled service in accordance with that schedule.
Any temporary allocation of China frequencies must also guarantee that United will be able to continue sales during the suspension period and resume service without the need to seek any additional authority from the PRC government. Because there is no formal notification requirement relating to frequency allocations under the U.S./China bilateral air services agreement, United understands that the U.S. does not advise China of the allocation of frequencies by DOT in a formal diplomatic note. In order, therefore, to assure that China understands the parameters of the temporary allocation, the U.S. must make it clear in any order reallocating frequencies and in any other communication with the government of the PRC (including communications made by Northwest based on any reallocation order) that reallocation of frequencies to Northwest is temporary and that United intends to resume service on April 6/7 as described above and will continue to sell Chicago-Beijing nonstop service after January 30.

Petition for Rulemaking and Enforcement Proceeding Complaint of Donald Pevsner - Southwest Airlines and Other U.S. Carriers
| OST-02-11338 | January 16, 2002 | Petition
for Rulemaking and Enforcement Proceeding Complaint |
One-Way Fare Discrimination |
| Attachment: Southwest Airlines "Conditions of Contract" | |||
| Service List |
Petition of Donald Pevsner for Rulemaking pursuant to 14 CFR Section 302.16, together with a collateral Enforcement Proceeding Complaint to both prohibit and enjoin all U.S. carriers from falsely representing to consumers what their cheapest fares are that may be lawfully used for on-way journeys.
On October 20, 2000, by Order 2000-10-23 in Docket OST-97-2061, the Department mandated that 49 U.S.C. §41712, which prohibits deceptive practices in the sale of air transportation, clearly prohibits air carriers from falsely representing to air travel consumers that their cheapest fares are those quoted by telephone, reservations personnel, or listed on CRS terminals, when in fact the same carriers usually offer cheaper fares on their Internet sites. Your Petitioner herein was the Petitioner in Docket OST-97-2061 as well, with the goal of ending sneaky price-gouging of the unsophisticated sector of the overall travel market: precisely that sector which can least afford the resultant mulcting by the carriers. He relies on the clear precedent set by Order 2000-10-23 in the instant pleading as well.

Transcarga International Airways, C.A.
| January 16, 2002 | Reply
of Transcarga Airways, to Answer of Arrow Air |
U.S.- Venezuela | |
| Service List |
It should be noted at the outset that the Answer of Arrow Air, Inc. relates to actions by one former employee, not the government of Venezuela, who apparently has availed himself of the court systems both here and in Venezuela concerning a dispute between himself and Arrow Air, not involving TRANSCARGA or the government of Venezuela. Thus, the sole involvement of the Venezuelan government has been through the use of it's judicial system by an individual unassociated with the government of Venezuela or TRANSCARGA. Indeed, the Answer sets forth that the matter is pending determination of the issues by the Supreme Court of Venezuela (i.e., the appropriate redress for this grievance/dispute exists within that system, and is being pursued, obviating need for involvement of the Department of Transportation through this application to achieve that end). Furthermore, since the actions alleged relate to that one individual, the availability of remedies and sanctions against him should suffice to allow the matter to be addressed. And, once again, the Answer itself sets forth that these sanctions and remedies have already been made available (a $10,000,000 sanction and order of incarceration are listed).

Hereby applies for renewal of its exemption authorizing it to provide foreign air transportation of persons, property, and mail between a point or points in the United States, directly and via intermediate points, and a point or points in Portugal, and beyond Portugal to any point or points in third countries. As renewed, United requests that the exemption be amended to allow United to serve Portugal either in its own aircraft or under its code-share arrangements with Lufthansa German Airlines, bmi British midland, Spanair, S.A., or another authorized carrier whereby United will place its designator code on such foreign carriers' flights between European intermediate points (e.g., Germany, UK and Spain) and Portugal. United requests that this exemption be renewed for a minimum period of two years or until a final decision on United's application for a certificate of public convenience and necessity in Docket OST-99-6385, as amended.

Sam Skinner of USFreightways for U.S.- U.K.
Open Skies Agreement |
U.S.- U.K. Alliance |
| Service List |
As
you know, liberalizing and expanding air service between the U.S. and the United
Kingdom has been a long-standing policy goal that predates even our respective
tenures at DOT. Each of us experienced both frustration and success in this
endeavor, and while we were able to achieve some incremental changes, those
steps pale in comparison to the opportunity that exists for you to finally
achieve an open skies agreement with the United Kingdom.
A
decade of results has supported the proposition that liberalized international
aviation agreements benefit consumers through more service and lower prices,
promote international commerce and enhance growth opportunities for the travel
and tourism industry. Furthermore, the Department's decision to link antitrust
immunity with open skies agreements has proven to be an invaluable carrel to
encourage foreign governments to open up markets over which they had been long
protective. Our predecessors at DOT would likely have never envisioned a day
when the U.S. had open skies agreements with Germany, France, Italy and
Switzerland, among many others.
