The following resolution was unanimously passed at our
MEC meeting on Wednesday, July 23.

WHEREAS, the US Airways flight attendants did our part
to save our airline after CEO David Siegel and his new
management team took over, and,

WHEREAS, the hundreds of millions of dollars saved by
the airline as a result of the substantial sacrifices
flight attendants twice made in wages, benefits and work
rules that were extracted under heavy-handed threats of
the shuttering of our carrier, have taken a devastating
toll on our families and quality of life, and,

WHEREAS, those extreme measures still were not enough
to save the jobs of thousands of our flying partners,
whose dedication to US Airways was repaid with a furlough
notice and a ticket to the unemployment line for them
and their families, and,

WHEREAS, Dave Siegel''s management team has regularly violated
our contract even after the sacrifices we made for the
survival of the airline, and

WHEREAS, management has unilaterally expanded the scope
of our negotiated Restructuring Agreement beyond any terms
the flight attendant would ever consent to under any cirxxxstances
- even under the threat of closure of our airline, and,

WHEREAS, Siegel and his key lieutenants disingenuous interpretation
of our contractual provisions regarding personal days,
medical and sick policies, the reserve system and an abusive
continuance of the additional 5% pay reduction because
of the war have been, by judgment of this MEC, to be willful
and illicit attacks on the US Airways flight attendant,

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the MEC''s position is that
the existing US Airways management team has failed to
honor or administer our collective bargaining agreement
in good faith shows a reckless disregard for the emotional
and physical health of their workers, treating us as liabilities
rather than the frontline ambassadors that we are everyday
for our airline, and,

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that David Siegel and the US Airways
Board of Directors will be alerted to
our position and
asked to intercede on the behalf of the airline''s dedicated
frontline employees to return our 5% pay deferral now
and immediately resolve outstanding contractual violations
in an acceptable manner, making a public display of this
airline''s massive internal problems unnecessary and,

BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED that if David Siegel and the US
Airways Board of Directors do not intercede on behalf
of the US Airways flight attendants, the MEC and all flight
attendants will act in solidarity to ensure that the flying
public, community leaders, shareholders, and the media
are alerted to the massive disputes described here, through
all legal avenues available to us - including letters
to Congress, letters to investors, media events and other
public displays - as part of an intensive effort to bring
US Airways into compliance with the existing flight attendant
working agreement.
---------------------------------


This resolution will be presented to the USAirways Board of Directors.

NO more Mr. Nice guys, talk-to-us-we''ll-talk-to-you crapola!

All flight attendants get on baord. Call you Local Reps.
