Item 2. A new JNC update is available under "What's New" on the pilots

only website and has been emailed to all pilots with an email address
on file
with ALPA. This update provides information regarding the counterproposal
given to the JNC from management on Section 10.
Also, the new JNC website is available for all US Airways and America

West pilots. The new website displays all of the JNC communications,
their
upcoming negotiating dates, correspondence with the Company, and more.
Our pilots can access the website through a link under "MEC Fast-Links"

And "What's New" on the pilots only homepage.

Item 3. This week the Grievance Committee received the final arbitration
award in Grievance PHL 03-07-05, Philadelphia Paid Parking. The
Committee announces with great pleasure that the Association
prevailed in all matters. Not only did Arbitrator Ruben dismiss all
arguments
made by the Company in the matter, he ordered a full ?make whole?
remedy. Additionally, he directed the Company to promptly
identify and notify all pilots who are or have been domiciled at the

Philadelphia airport on or after July 1, 2003, and who commuted to that
airport from a remote airport location. These pilots are entitled to
reimbursement in an amount not to exceed $15.00 per month. It is important

to note, that in the Company's own estimation, this is an award in excess
of
$400,000 for the pilot group, and an additional award to our fellow

employees who have ?me too? provisions of $1.25 million. A detailed

explanation of the award is available on the pilot?s only website under

"What's New" and on the Grievance Committee homepage. The complete
award will be available shortly as the Committee is still in the process
of
obtaining all required signatures.

Item 4. The US Airways pilots? ballot count for the vote on AI 05-136f,

MDA Insurance Subsidy for Health Insurance, was completed today. The

majority of pilots voted not to be assessed. The results are as follows:
With 54 percent of the eligible 2,715 pilots participating in the vote:
446 pilots or 30.42 percent voted in favor of the assessment.
1,020 pilots or 69.58 percent voted to oppose the assessment.
Please remember we still have 1,574 pilots on furlough with approximately

400 pilots currently working at MDA or Jets For Jobs carriers.
Thank you for listening.
