Dear Members,

CANCELLATION OF E190 FLYING DUE TO THE SALE OF 10 E190 AIRCRAFT

The recent Company decision to sell 10 E190 aircraft has led to the transfer of two E190 aircraft to the buyer- Republic Airlines in November. With two aircraft coming out of the US Airways fleet after the November trips and lines were bid and awarded, numerous cancellations of E190 flights and, in some cases, entire trips have resulted.

The Company has agreed with the AFA's position because the lines and trips were published and awarded prior to the cancellations, any Flight Attendant who loses time, either through segment or trip cancellations on E190 equipment, will be pay protected for the original value of the published trip.

The pay protection will also apply to any affected trip awarded via the AIL or SAP. Please submit a claim upon completion of a trip with cancelled segments or upon the cancellation of the entire trip.

Your claim will not be reduced by any other flying picked up through the AIL or ETB during the November bid month.

The Company CBS referenced below.

Subject: EMB 190 Cancellation

CLT AND PHL FA ONLY

The recent sale of ten E190 aircraft has resulted in flight cancellations during the November bid month. This was unavoidable due to the fact that two aircraft were removed from our system after the November schedules had already been awarded. The Company has made the decision due to the unique circumstances to exceed the requirements set forth in the contract and pay protect flight attendants for cancelled segments or for the few pairings that were cancelled in their entirety. Therefore, if the flight attendant's trip was altered due to the above referenced aircraft sale event, she/he will be entitled to submit a claim for the original published value of the trip after flying the trip or upon cancellation of a trip. This will also apply to a trip that was awarded from the AIL or via SAP.

This process will only affect the November bid month as the schedule going forward has been adjusted to accommodate the removal of aircraft for future months.

Thank you,
