Please note that in order to be awarded a Primary Line of Flying for January 2006, you will need to submit your rescission before Nov. 18 at NOON. While you may still rescind your retirement after Nov. 18 (To rescind a request to retire, the employee must notify the US Airways BenefitCenter and his/her manager no less than 15 days prior to the effective date of his/her retirement {inserted by your MEC}), you will not be awarded a Primary Line of Flying. (PLEASE SEE MORE BELOW)

To rescind your Retirement, please fax your request to Rick Carpenter at 412-472-1473.

In addition (although not necessarily by Nov. 18), you must also notify the PBGC at 1-800-400-7242 and fax your rescission to US Airways Human Resources at 703-872-7498.

Thank you.

==================

Rescinding Retirement - In order to rescind a retirement notification you must notify the USAirways Benefits Center, Inflight Administration and the PBGC. As there is presently no official form to use so you can either send a copy of your original retirement notification with the word RESCIND clearly marked at the top or draft a letter stating your intentions. With either choice make sure your name and employee number are included. You can fax your request to:

USAirways Benefits--- (703) 872-7498 attention: Retirement Services

Inflight Administration--- (412) 472-1473 attention: Rick Carpenter

You must also contact the PBGC to state your decision to rescind at (800) 400-7242.

It is suggested you follow up your request with a phone call to Rick Carpenter at (412) 472-1440.

Please be aware that if you have submitted a request to retire in order to participate in the Early Retirement Incentive (ERI) and you choose to rescind your retirement you will forfeit the ERI in its entirety.
