In addition, baggage handling and settlement of baggage handling claims shall be in accordance with existing tariffs and the Trade Practice Manual of the Air Transport Association or the IATA Resolutions and Recommended Practices Manual, whichever is applicable. 2.5 The parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to coordinate their service schedules and to consider schedule and route changes suggested by Frontier to maximize program passengers and revenue and to maximize the convenience and minimize the waiting time of passengers making connections between the Codeshared Flights and other flights operated by the parties; provided, however, that neither party is obligated to operate specific flights or service schedules and each party retains the right to determine the service schedules of its own flights, including, without limitations, the right to reduce flights, add new flights and discontinue flights and cities or airports served. Each party agrees to notify the other party as soon as practicable, but not less than sixty (60) days unless otherwise agreed to by the parties, in advance of any schedule change to a Codeshared Flight or a connecting Frontier-operated flight. If Frontier suspends or terminates service to a particular market shall be solely responsible for transferring the reservations of such passengers to other carriers or making alternative arrangements. If Mesa suspends or terminates service to a particular market it will pay Frontier * per PNR to transfer the reservations of such passengers to other carriers. Frontier will charge Mesa the net expense of ticketing passengers on a reaccomodation basis through the ACH. 2.6 The Conditions of Carriage of Frontier (as modified from time to time) shall govern the transportation of Codeshared Passengers on the Codeshared Flights, except that if there are any material differences between the operating rules and procedures of Mesa, and those operating rules and procedures that apply to Frontier-operated flights, such material differences shall be described in the Procedures Manual and Frontier shall disclose the same in its Conditions of Carriage. 2.7 The Operating Carrier has final authority and responsibility concerning the operation and safety of the aircraft and its passengers.
