Item 5.  Other Events.

      As disclosed in a joint press release issued on May 24, 2000 by US
Airways Group, Inc. ("US Airways") and UAL Corporation ("UAL"), US Airways,
UAL and Yellow Jacket Acquisition Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of UAL
("Merger Sub"), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated May 23,
2000 (the "Merger Agreement"), pursuant to which Merger Sub will be merged
with and into US Airways, with US Airways being the surviving corporation
(the "Merger"). As previously disclosed, pursuant to the Merger, each
issued and outstanding share of common stock, par value $1.00 per share, of
US Airways (other than Appraisal Shares (as defined in the Merger
Agreement)) will be converted into the right to receive $60 in cash.
Consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the
Merger Agreement are subject to various conditions set forth in the Merger
Agreement, including, but not limited to, the receipt of regulatory
approvals and the approval of the stockholders of US Airways.

            Also on May 23, 2000, in connection with entering into the
Merger Agreement, US Airways, UAL and Mr. Robert Johnson entered into a
memorandum of understanding (the "Memorandum") pursuant to which the
parties agreed to negotiate and enter into definitive documentation
providing for the sale of certain assets (which are identified on
Attachment I to the Memorandum) of US Airways to an entity established by
Mr. Johnson and the provision of certain services (as identified on
Attachment I to the Memorandum) to such entity.

            Copies of the Merger Agreement and the Memorandum (including
Attachment I thereto) are attached hereto as Exhibits 2.1 and 2.2,
respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing
description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of
