Operative words

"By this notice, the U.S. Department of Transportation (the Department) announces an opportunity for incremental adjustments to service obligations under Order 2020-4-2, issued April 7, 2020, in light of ongoing challenges faced by U.S. airlines due to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) public health emergency." "The Department will allow covered carriers to exempt from their service obligation five (5) percent of the points in their service obligation list, or five (5) points, whichever is greater." "The Department will review carrier submissions and not permit any point to lose service from all covered carriers." "Accordingly, covered carriers cannot use this process to obtain relief from EAS obligations."
