Several of the Answers misconstrue the purpose and proposed implementation of the Fact Hearing sought by Sabre and misinterpret certain of the cases cited by Sabre in its Petition. Sabre respectfully requests an opportunity to reply to these answers and explain how the convening of a Fact Hearing by the Department need not delay the revised procedural schedule that the Department has recently adopted for this proceeding. Grant of this motion will not unduly delay this proceeding, and acceptance of this Reply will provide the Department with a more complete record upon which to evaluate the merits of Sabre’s petition.

Delaware Skyways, LLC

A cursory review of Delaware Skyways' certificate application indicated that the operations it intended to perform--charter operations using a 4 seat Cessna 172 did not require that the company hold a certificate under 49 U.S.C. 41102 provided that it register as an air taxi operator under Part 298 of the Department's rules (14 CFR 298). Therefore, we contacted the company and advised it that rather than pursue its certificate application, it could choose to withdraw this application and register as an air taxi operator.

National Airlines, Inc.

We see no reason, based on the comments submitted, to change our guidance with respect to the implementation by carriers of the requirements of section 145. We find particularly unpersuasive Delta's and American's argument that we lack the authority to provide any guidance with respect to section 145, and that our actions are unlawful ratemaking. Equally unpersuasive is the carriers' argument that the so-called "marketplace" rate, i.e. whatever rate those carriers elect to charge, is what Congress intended in requiring carriers to accommodate displaced passengers "to the extent practicable."

Notwithstanding our public invitation to all affected parties, there is no evidence in any of the comments submitted to us indicating that our suggested charge of $25.00 each way to accommodate passengers under section 145 is unreasonable. As we informally made clear to every carrier that inquired at the outset, and as is plain from our November 14 notice requesting comments on the cost issue, we understand that costs may vary by carrier. We also agree with the commenters who suggested that the cost to a particular carrier of complying with section 145 may be affected by a variety of factors, including the number of passengers, the current fuel costs to carriers, and the markets and itineraries involved. We note that, consistent with our statutory responsibilities, including those under 49 U.S.C. § 41712, it is important in implementing section 145 to avoid uncertainty and unnecessary harm to the industry and the public. We therefore intend to continue to monitor this situation and work with all carriers informally to ensure that the Congressional intent of section 145 is effectuated in any given situation.

PrivatAir, S.A.

Hereby applies for a statement of authorization pursuant to Part 212.10 to the extent necessary to display the designator code of United Airlines on flights operated by PrivatAir on a wet lease basis for Lufthansa German Airlines as further described herein. PrivatAir requests this authorization for (i) its current wet lease operations between Dusseldorf, Germany and Newark, New Jersey and (ii) any other routes on which Lufthansa holds authority to codeshare with United.

PrivatAir requests a blanket statement of authorization, subject to the Department's standard 30-day notice provision, to the extent necessary to display the UA* code on PrivatAir-operated flights conducted on a wet lease basis for Lufthansa, coextensive with Lufthansa's Part 212 authority to codeshare with United. PrivatAir asks that the statement of authorization be effective for an indefinite period consistent with the Department's practice in other codeshare proceedings.
