Last year US Airways accrued $61 million for profit sharing. For the first three quarters of 2013 US Airways has accrued $95 million or $34 million more than last year with one quarter left in the year. Today US Airways reported its Q3 EPS was $1.16 per share and FactSet analysts surveyed believe our company's Q4 EPS will be 48 cents per share.

Therefore, it appears this year's pilot profit sharing payment, which in previous years was paid on March 15th or presumably will be paid on March 15, 2014, should be 75% to 100% higher than last year dependent upon Q4's earnings.[/background]
