MEC CODE-A-PHONE UPDATE

June 21, 2006
Yesterday, we reported on the special conference call the MEC held on June 19 in closed session, where the MEC considered the latest America West proposal on EMB-190 flying. Absent a counterproposal from the US Airways MEC following the meeting, the America West MEC proposed taking this issue to arbitration. MEC Chairman Jack Stephan has authorized the Merger Committee and merger counsel Dan Katz to engage in the necessary preparations to arbitrate the EMB-190 growth flying issue. There will be more updates on this topic as they become available.
Please remember we still have 1,594 pilots on furlough with 178 pilots working at Jets for Jobs carriers.
Thank you for listening.
