Dear Members,

We Are One

This week the company announced the merger between US Airways and American Airlines to form the New American Airlines. While most of the details are not yet clear, one thing is certain: We will be an important part of making the world's largest airline.

By securing the 2013 Tentative Agreement, we will take an active role in building the New American and establishing the framework as future issues are resolved. Many opportunities lie ahead, as well as challenges. I have no doubt that Flight Attendants at US Airways are up for the task.

Over the next two weeks I will be visiting crew rooms around the system to answer questions about the merger as well as the 2013 Tentative Agreement. I look forward to seeing you:

CLT Tuesday, Feb. 19.

PHL Wednesday, Feb, 20

DCA Thursday, Feb. 21

You can also get the facts from Mobilizers or from OurAFA.org. With this merger becoming reality, it's more important now than ever that you vote in this ratification.

Profit Sharing Election

As announced, US Airways will pay profit sharing in mid-March to eligible employees. You can make a special deferral election to your profit sharing payment.

Starting Tuesday, Feb. 19 at 11 a.m. ET through Friday, March 1 at 4 p.m. ET, log into your Fidelity account at www.netbenefits.com/usairways and elect a pre-tax deferral percentage, after-tax contribution percentage, Roth 401(k) contribution percentage, catch-up deferral percentage or a Roth catch-up contribution percentage (if age 50 or over) that will be applied only to your profit sharing payment.

If you do not make a special election, your current elections on file will be applied to the profit sharing payment. More information can be found on Wings.

In Solidarity,

Roger Holmin
