For those of you who are aware of the accident yesterday:

-------------------------------------
The loss of our fellow employee Yolanda Corbett at
Reagan National Airport on Tuesday has deeply touched
many of you, as well as some of our customers who
learned of this terrible accident through media
reports. The outreach to help Yolanda's two daughters
ages 11 and 12, and other members of her family, has
been extraordinary.

Over the past few days, US Airways has taken the steps
to set up a Trust Fund account for the children. The
Yolanda Corbett Memorial Trust Fund has now been
established to help support Yolanda's daughters.
US Airways has contributed $20,000 -- $10,000 for each
child -- to the fund, which is being handled through
Wachovia Bank.

Standley Brady, a US Airways Fleet Service Agent at
Reagan National Airport, also began collecting money
to help support the Corbett family members. He has
been instrumental in coordinating this gesture of good
will. America West employees also expressed their
desire to donate.

"Our employees have been working closely with
Yolanda's family during this difficult time, and the
family has conveyed their appreciation for the efforts
and expressions of sympathy so many US Airways
employees have shown," said Senior Vice President of
Corporate Affairs Chris Chiames.

Employees desiring to contribute to the Fund may send
checks (made payable to the Yolanda Corbett Memorial
Trust Fund) to Wachovia Bank, Attention Evelyn
Scarborough, 1300 I St., NW, 12th Floor, Washington,
D.C. 20005. Donations also can be made at any
Wachovia branch.
