Dear PHL Flight Attendants,

PHL ELECTION RESULTS

The polls closed yesterday afternoon at 1330 EST for the Philadelphia election. This election was necessary due to the resignation of the previously elected slate of Council 70 officers effective December 31, 2006.

The new elected officers are:

President John McCorkle Jr.

Vice President Grace Jones

Secretary Daniel Sampey

Mr. McCorkle, Ms. Jones and Mr. Sampey will begin their term of office on March 1, 2007. Because this was an election to fill vacated officer positions, Council 70 will remain on its normal election cycle and their terms will expire on June 30, 2008. Please join me in congratulating the newly elected officers and commending them on their willingness to serve the members of their Council.

The Certified PHL Election results are posted at:

Thank You,

Brian Morgan - Interim LECP Council 70

NEW COMPANY PASS TRAVEL

NEW COMPANY PASS TRAVEL

Dear Ms. Shamblin,

Pursuant to Section 24 of the Agreement between US Airways, Inc. and the Association of Flight Attendants-CWA, AFL-CIO, as the duly designated and authorized representative of the Flight Attendants employed by the Company, the Association requests an investigation and hearing into the Company's violation of Section 16.B.1, 22.I. and all related sections of the Flight Attendant Agreement. On January 30, 2007, the Company unilaterally announced its new Boarding Priority for Non-Revenue Travel. Section 16B.1 of the Agreement requires that competitive seniority for passes begins on the first day of initial training, or, where applicable, on the adjusted seniority date (SID) (date of hire). Boarding priority is now based first on year of hire, rather than date of hire, and then upon time of check in. If there are two or more employees with the same year of hire attempting to board a flight, the tie-breaker becomes time of check-in for the flight, even if the employee who checks in later has an earlier date of hire. An employee can check in up to twelve (12) hours before departure on the internet, or up to four (4) at the airport.

The Company's unilateral change in boarding priority not only violates the plain language of Section 16B.1, as well as a long standing past practice between the parties, it also adversely impacts the working flight attendant, who has neither access to the internet, nor ability to check in at the airport, when in flight or on duty with passengers, in comparison to all other employees, and most particularly those employees with a later date of hire, by establishing that the time of check-in may trump the date of hire as a component of boarding priority.

As a remedy, the Union requests the Company to immediately rescind its change in boarding priority and return to the status quo until such time as the parties have had the opportunity to bargain and reach agreement over this issue. In addition, should any flight attendant be charged with an Unable to Commute or any other dependability incident due to this change in boarding priority prior to its rescission, such incident will be stricken from the flight attendant's record, and discipline, if any, shall be rescinded and the flight attendant shall be made whole. Should the Company fail to rescind the change in boarding priority and return to the status quo, the Union requests that the issue be handled in accordance with the expedited arbitration procedures as provided in Section 24 G. of the Agreement. The Union reserves all rights, including the right to request for any and all other make whole remedy as appropriate, under this procedure.

Please send a copy of all hearing notices and decisions rendered in this case to the undersigned and to Josie G. Bautista, AFA Legal, Association of Flight Attendants - CWA, 501 Third St. NW, 8th Floor- AFA Legal, Washington, DC 20001.

Yours truly,
Aida L. Marski

MEC Grievance Chairperson
Association of Flight Attendants, AFL-CIO
