The Company is offering a Voluntary Furlough with Limited Recall (VFLR) Program, under which qualifying Flight Attendants may voluntarily furlough (due to lack of work) from US Airways with limited recall rights in exchange for a cash payment and certain travel benefits for themselves and eligible family members. There may be tax consequences associated with the use of these travel benefits.

In order to qualify for the Program, an employee must have been in an active status as of December 1, 2004, and must be in an active status as of his/her awarded VFLR release date (i.e., June 1, September 1, or December 2, 2005) to be eligible for a VFLR. A copy of the complete Program is available on the Inflight Services page on theHub (thehub.usairways.com) and at www.afausairways.org.
