SEPARATION PACKAGE AWARD POSTING

The Company awarded 133 Separation Packages (SEP) as a result of the SEP bid. Obviously the SEP award was undersubscribed. The Union believes that Separation Packages are beneficial to both the Company and the Flight Attendants and will pursue additional Separation Packages. The awards can be viewed on theHub HERE: http://thehub.usairways.com/divisions/operations/inflight/pdf/2007/Publications_SEPAwards_Dec13_2008.pdf

MARCH TRANSFER POSTING

As a result of the March Separation Package Awards and the recall of Flight Attendants to support increased block hours in the spring and summer, the Company has issued the following Transfer posting outlined below. After the Transfer awards, the Company will revaluate the staffing model to determine the exact amount of recalls.

The following CBS message was sent to all East flight attendants:

Date: Friday, 14 December 2007 13:33 ET
