With the booklet, look for the letter from Pat Friend, AFA International
President, explaining balloting procedures.
As a reminder, only active

eligible to vote on this tentative agreement. If you are on a Leave of
Absence or Voluntary Furlough beyond 90 days, you must continue to pay
dues in order to remain active and be eligible to vote. Any outstanding
dues must be paid before the count date for your vote to be counted.
As has been discussed at
the Roadshows, this ratification vote is being conducted by electronic
ballot using either the internet or touch tone telephone, your choice.
Once you have voted, you may change your vote by either method during the

In order for your vote to count,
you must carefully follow these instructions:
To use the system, you must
enter an ID number and a PIN. The ID number is your US Airways employee
ID number. If your US Airways employee ID number is NOT a 5-digit number,
you must add the appropriate number of 0's in front of the number to equal
a 5-digit number.
Your PIN is the last four
digits of your Social Security Number. Once you have logged in, you will
be prompted to CHANGE your PIN. Be sure to remember your new PIN as you
will need it if you wish to access the ballot again.
