Dear Fellow Employees,

A New Year brings new records to US Airways with preliminary results showing our best January performance ever. Thanks to your hard work and dedication, we set new performance records across the board!

January 2012 Bests
Best Jan. A14 ever!
Best Jan. MBR ever!
Best Jan. completion factor ever!
Best single-day DOT MBR ever! (1.15 – Jan. 31)
Best single-day DOT A14 ever! (96.1% – Jan. 31)
Best monthly average MELs* ever!

This is a great start to the New Year and continues our streak of best-ever performances that we achieved for the holidays, the month of December and the fourth quarter as a whole. Our results are even more impressive when you factor in record loads and a runway closure for construction in PHX for most of the month. Mild weather has also played an important role and as a result, our competitors are running reliable operations across the board. The competition is fierce so we have to continue to be at our best each and every day. I’m hopeful that all of our work will translate into many Triple Play payouts in 2012.

Congratulations and thank you for getting the year off to a fantastic start. We’ve set the bar high for 2012 so keep up the great work!


Robert


* The Technical Operations team set a new average monthly Minimum Equipment List (MEL) record in January of 79 items per day at the morning startup for the entire mainline fleet. An MEL allows an aircraft to fly with non-flight critical equipment inoperable, such as auxiliary power units (APUs), lavs, galley equipment or seats.
