1. Baltia particularly requests, and would be exceptionally grateful for, expedited treatment 

of this application, that it be granted without waiting the expiration of the I5-day answer period. 

Approximately ten weeks ago, in a combined poling of responses to Baltia's request to extend 

Order 2009-3-7 and one weekly frequency, no carrier objected. Although United did not 

oppose, it did choose to make no response for reasons unrelated to the grant of an extension and 

for one weekly round-trip frequency.

by September 2010.
