OST-97-2952 | October 3, 1997
Federal Express strongly objects to grant of the exemptions applied for by Fine Air on the basis of the inability of Federal Express to file an informed Answer to Fine Air's application under the greatly accelerated procedures established by the Department's Notice and the failure of Fine Air to serve any of the documentation referred to in its application on Federal Express. Federal Express has not yet received any of the fitness evidence referred to in Fine Air's exemption application.

Fine Air Services, Inc. (Fitness Determination)
OST-97-2952 | October 6, 1997
FedEx's apparent unwillingness to take even basic steps to obtain Fine Air's complete Application belies any contention that it was "unable" to submit an answer to Fine Air's application. That contention therefore furnishes no basis for issuing a revised procedural order.
