Exhibit 99
US AIRWAYS, PILOTS AGREE ON COMPETITIVE CONTRACT
ARLINGTON, Va., Oct. 1, 1997--US Airways and the Air Line
Pilots Association (ALPA) reached tentative agreement late last
night on a competitive contract, opening the door for the airline
to reverse years of downsizing and implement plans to become a
global carrier.
"Our pilots have demonstrated both wisdom and leadership in
helping us to begin the process of putting in place the ability
for US Airways to grow and develop its full potential. Special
thanks are due to the negotiators for both ALPA and the company
for their tireless efforts in reaching this mutually beneficial
agreement," said US Airways Chairman and CEO Stephen M. Wolf.
US Airways said that in light of the tentative agreement
with ALPA, Airbus Industrie has agreed to extend the deadline for
affirming the company's order for 400 narrowbody aircraft pending
pilot ratification.
The company said it had earlier agreed with the Association
of Flight Attendants, the International Association of Machinists
and the Transport Workers Union that it would move as promptly as
possible with the leadership of these three unions to conclude
negotiations for new contracts with them following a tentative
agreement with ALPA. The company said it also would move forward
on negotiating an agreement with the Communications Workers of
America.
"Our employees have demonstrated the skill and determination
to make US Airways the carrier of choice, and with our tentative
ALPA agreement we have now taken another significant step toward
achieving that goal," Wolf said.
