Item 4 of the Schedule 13D previously filed by the undersigned with respect to
the common stock of USAir Group, Inc. ("USAir") is hereby amended to add the
following:

          Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

          Berkshire Hathaway Inc.'s Chairman, Warren E. Buffett, and Vice
Chairman, Charles T. Munger, presently serve as members of USAir's Board of
Directors.  In the proxy statement for USAir's 1994 Annual Meeting they stated
that their continued service as directors of USAir (and its operating
subsidiary) was dependent upon USAir successfully reaching a timely agreement
with its organized labor groups that, in the opinion of Messrs. Buffett and
Munger, provided USAir with sufficient labor cost savings which, when combined
with other cost reduction programs being implemented by USAir, would afford
USAir a reasonable opportunity to achieve profitability in a low fare
competitive environment.  To date, USAir has not been successful in achieving
necessary labor cost savings.  Therefore, Mr. Buffett and Mr. Munger will not
stand for reelection to USAir's board at the 1995 annual meeting.

     After reasonable inquiry and to the best knowledge and belief of each,
the undersigned hereby certify that the information set forth in this
statement is true, complete and correct.

Dated this 13th day of March, 1995.
