RECIPROCAL CABIN SEAT AGREEMENT WITH SOUTHWEST AIRLINE

The Company issued the following CBS message yesterday afternoon:

Date: Friday, 20 July 2007 12:00 ET                                            
To: Emc2-News-c                                                                
From: SHAMBLIN.S                                                               
Subject: Reciprocal Cabin Seats Update

You asked... We listened... Part II

I'm pleased to announce our second Reciprocal Cabin Seat Agreement.  The agreement is between US Airways and Southwest Airlines and is effective August 1, 2007.

The program is designed for flight attendants to travel (for commuting purposes or personal leisure) in what would otherwise be empty cabin seats, free of charge. Transportation is applicable on US Airways and Southwest Air Lines flights within the continental United States to/from the U.S., Hawaii, Alaska and the United StatesVirgin Islands and is on a space available basis. 

Guidelines and details for travel on Southwest will be posted to theHub and Compass prior to the August 1 effective date. We continue to work with other carriers, so be on the look out for other carriers to be added to the program.

The Southwest reciprocal agreement coupled with the Delta Air Lines agreement is the direct result of the AFA membership mobilization advocacy campaign that began several months ago. A Union is only has strong as its membership. Thank you for helping your leaders and for being the driving force in directing the Company in securing these agreements.

Further details will be forthcoming. The cabin seat agreements are for active Flight Attendants with a valid ID.  The cabin seat agreements DO NOT allow travel for other family members or domestic partners otherwise eligible for non revenue travel on US Airways. Other family members and domestic partners are eligible for off-line travel on Delta and Southwest per existing non revenue travel agreements with the two carriers.

Thank you,

Mike Flores, President
The US Airways Master Executive Council
