Filing 155

RESPONSE filed by Sabre Holdings Corporation, Sabre Inc, Sabre Travel International Ltd re: #148 Sealed American Airlines' Motion for Leave to File Second Amended Complaint (Fredricks, Scott)

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
NORTHERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS
FORT WORTH DIVISION
American Airlines, Inc.,
Plaintiff,
v.
Travelport Ltd., Travelport L.P. d/b/a
Travelport,
Case No. 4:11-cv-00244-Y
Orbitz Worldwide, LLC d/b/a Orbitz,
and
Sabre Inc., Sabre Holdings Corp., Sabre Travel
Int’l Ltd. d/b/a Sabre Travel Network,
Defendants.

Sabre’s Response to American’s Motion for Leave to Amend

Defendants Sabre Inc., Sabre Holdings Corp., and Sabre Travel Int’l Ltd. d/b/a Sabre
Travel Network (collectively, “Sabre”) respond as follows to the Plaintiff American Airlines
Inc.’s Motion for Leave to File a Second Amended Complaint (Doc. 148, filed under seal):
Subject to the arguments in its previously-filed motion to dismiss (Doc. 97), and
reserving all rights to amend or supplement that motion should the Court permit American to file
its proposed amended allegations, Sabre neither opposes nor agrees to the relief sought by
American in its motion for leave to file an amended complaint. However, Sabre agrees with
Orbitz’s and Travelport’s request that, in the interest of efficiency, if the Court has invested
substantial time and effort analyzing Defendants’ pending motions to dismiss, the Court first rule

on those motions before permitting American to amend its pleadings.
