JOINT SUBMISSION REGARDING SETTLEMENT CONFERENCE
Plaintiff American Airlines, Inc. (“American”) and Defendants Sabre Inc., Sabre
Holdings Corporation, and Sabre Travel International Ltd. d/b/a Sabre Travel Network
(collectively, “Sabre”) and Orbitz Worldwide, LLC (“Orbitz”) submit this joint submission
regarding a settlement conference. Pursuant to the Court’s August 1, 2011 Initial Scheduling
Order, American and Sabre have agreed to conduct a mediation, which they are seeking to hold
in early March. Because they will be mediating this matter in the near future, American and
Sabre request that the mediation serve as the settlement conference required by the Court’s Initial
Scheduling Order and that their obligation to hold a settlement conference be extended until, and
including, March 15, 2012.
In addition, American and Orbitz believe that a settlement conference is more
likely to be productive in the near future, and jointly request that their obligation to conduct a
settlement conference be extended until March 15, 2012.
American further states that it has held a settlement conference with Travelport on
January 27, 2012 and will provide the Court with a report of that settlement conference by
February 3, 2012, as required by the Court’s Initial Scheduling Order.
