Item 5. Other Events
On October 10, 2000, US Airways, Inc. (US Airways) (a wholly-owned subsidiary of US Airways Group, Inc.) provided certain forward-looking statements to the investment community related to its aircraft fleet and selected operating and financial statistics (see Exhibit 99).
Certain of the information contained in the letter to the investment community should be considered "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 which is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. The preparation of forward-looking statements requires the use of estimates of future revenues, expenses, activity levels and economic and market conditions, many of which are outside US Airways' control. Specific factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements include: economic conditions; labor costs; financing costs; aviation fuel costs; the anticipated merger of the Company and a subsidiary of UAL Corporation; competitive pressures on pricing (particularly from lower-cost competitors); weather conditions; government legislation; consumer perceptions of US Airways' products; demand for air transportation in the markets in which US Airways operates; other operational matters discussed below and other risks and uncertainties listed from time to time in US Airways' reports to the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. Other factors and assumptions not identified above are also involved in the preparation of forward-looking statements, and the failure of such other factors and assumptions to be realized may also cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed. US Airways assumes no obligation to update such estimates to reflect actual results, changes in assumptions or changes in other factors affecting such estimates.
