In accordance with 14 C.F.R. § 13.218(a), the parties jointly bring this Motion to Stay

others in various procedural postures. 
On April6, 2016, the court granted the requested stay through June 6, 2016, and directed 

the parties to submit a joint repmi on the progress of settlement negotiations on or before 

that date. 

On June 6, 2016, the parties submitted a Second Joint Motion to Stay Proceedings; which 

the court granted, directing the parties to submit a joint report no later than October 1, 

2016 providing an update on the status of proceedings. 

On September 20,2016, Sky West and the Department of Justice entered into a second 

tolling agreement, extending the statute oflimitations for the cases within the exclusive 

jurisdiction of the District Comis to March 1, 2017. Exhibit 1. 

Settlement negotiations have been ongoing since that time, with progress made. Although 

a final agreement has not been reached, the parties have reached broad agreement on a 

number of the issues between the parties, and continue to work towards reaching 

agreement the details of implementation for those issues, as well as agreement on 

resolving other issues involved in the cases. 

The parties remain confident that an agreement will be reached. 

Accordingly, the parties move the court to extend the stay of proceedings to March 1, 

2017, consistent with the tolling agreement entered into by the parties on September 20, 

2016. 

Respectfully submitted this 3'd day of October, 2016.
