                        Independent Auditors' Report


The Plan Administrator and Participants
Supplemental Retirement Plan of 
   Piedmont Aviation, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for plan benefits of
the Supplemental Retirement Plan of Piedmont Aviation, Inc. (the Plan) as of December 31,
1992 and 1991, and the related statements of changes in net assets available for plan
benefits for the years then ended.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Plan's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.  Those
standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and financial
statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material
respects, the net assets available for plan benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 1992 and
1991, and the changes in net assets available for plan benefits for the years then ended in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements
taken as a whole.  The supplemental schedules of assets held for investment purposes as of
December 31, 1992 and reportable transactions for the year ended December 31, 1992 are
presented for the purpose of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic
financial statements, but are supplementary information required by the Department of
Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.  The supplemental schedules have been subjected
to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our
opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements
taken as a whole.

                                December 31, 1992 and 1991


(1)   Description of Plan

      The following brief description of the Supplemental Retirement Plan of Piedmont
      Aviation, Inc. (the Plan) is provided for general information purposes only.  Participants
      should refer to the Plan document for more complete information.

      (a)   General

            The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering all former employees of
            Piedmont Aviation, Inc. (Piedmont).  In November 1987, Piedmont Aviation, Inc.
            was acquired by USAir Group, Inc. (Group).  Group merged Piedmont into
            USAir, Inc. (USAir), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Group, in August 1989.  As
            part of the merger, the Plan was frozen as to additional contributions effective
            July 31, 1989 with the exception of rollover contributions from the terminated
            Piedmont Aviation, Inc. Pilot Variable Annuity Trust.  These rollovers were
            reflected in the 1990 activity as transfers from other plans.  The Plan is subject to
            the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).

      (b)   Vesting

            Participants are fully vested in their account at all times.  Adjustments to each
            account for interest, distributions, etc. are made at the end of each month.

      (c)   Benefits

            On termination of service, a participant may elect to receive either a lump-sum
            amount equal to the value of his or her account or to apply such amount to the
            purchase of an immediate noncashable and nontransferable contract from a legal
            reserve life insurance company providing any one of several annuities (as elected
            by the participant).

(2)   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

      (a)   Basis of Presentation

            The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on an accrual basis
            and present the net assets available for pension benefits and changes in those net
            assets.

                              Notes to Financial Statements
                              -----------------------------
                                       (Continued)


      (b)   Investments

            *   Beneficial Interest in Master Trust
                -----------------------------------
                Most of the assets of the Plan are maintained in a master trust with the assets
                of another defined contribution plan sponsored by USAir, Inc.  The trustee,
                Fidelity Management Trust Company, maintains the master trust under the
                terms of an agreement with the Plan.  The Plan's share of changes in the
                master trust has been reported to the Plan by the trustee as having been
                determined through the use of contract value for the guaranteed investment
                contracts (GICs).

            *   Pooled Separate Account
                -----------------------
                These amounts are carried at fair value as determined and certified by Aetna
                Life Insurance Company (Aetna).

      (c)   Allocations

            Individual accounts are maintained for each participant.  Investment earnings and
            losses are allocated to participants based on their proportionate share of the total.

(3)   Concentration of Credit Risk

      The assets of the Plan included in the master trust consist of GICs purchased from an
      insurance company.  The Plan's ultimate realization of amounts invested in GICs is
      dependent on the continued financial stability of Aetna, the insurance company that
      issued all of the GICs.  The total amount invested in the Aetna GICs is $36,542,780 and
      $35,460,400 at December 31, 1992 and 1991, respectively.

(4)   Tax Status

      The Internal Revenue Service issued a letter of determination which stated that the Plan
      qualifies under the applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code.  The Plan has
      been amended since then.  In the opinion of the Plan Administrator and the Plan's legal
      counsel, the Plan has operated within the terms of the Plan and remains qualified under
      the applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code.  Accordingly, the Plan is entitled
      to exemption under the provisions of Section 401(a), and no provision for federal or state
      income tax has been made in the accompanying financial statements.

(5)   Plan Termination

      The Company reserves the right to terminate the Plan at any time.  In the event of
      termination, all participant contributions will cease and no additional participants shall
      enter the Plan.  USAir shall provide for the assets under the Plan to be distributed in
      lump sum to the participants, beneficiaries or other successors in interest, the balance of
      their account at the time of termination.
