MOTION FOR AN EXTENSION OF TIME

Delta and the Virgin Blue Group respectfully move the Department for an 

extension of time to respond to Show Cause Order 2009-10-4. The applicants request 

a three week extension, so that objections or comments would be due on October 13, 

2010, rather than September 22, 2010. 

Good cause exists for granting this request. The Department identified a number 

of concerns in the Show Cause Order, which the applicants believe require specific and 

detailed responses. While the applicants are very anxious to bring this proceeding to a 

successful conclusion, we believe that the additional time will assist the development of 

a more complete record, and enable the applicants to address the issues identified in the 

Show Cause Order which led to the tentative conclusions. 

The Joint Application is unopposed and therefore allowing the applicants 

sufficient time to develop their response will not prejudice any other party. The 
Motion of Delta and Virgin Blue Group 

Page 2 

applicants will conduct a poll of the carrier representatives served with this Motion and 

advise the Department of the results. 

Respectfully submitted,
