Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure
None.
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires management to include in this Annual Report on Form 10-K a report on
management's assessment of the effectiveness of US Airways Group's and US Airways' internal control over financial reporting, as well
as an attestation report from US Airways Group's and US Airways' independent registered public accounting firm on management's
assessment of the effectiveness of US Airways Group's and US Airways' internal control over financial reporting. Management's annual
report on internal control over financial reporting and the related attestation report from US Airways Group's and US Airways'
independent registered public accounting firm are located in Item 8A. "Consolidated Financial Statements and Supplementary Data of
US Airways Group, Inc." and Item 8C. "Consolidated Financial Statements and Supplementary Data of US Airways, Inc." and are
incorporated herein by reference.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
An evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of US Airways Group's, AWA's and US Airways'
management, including the Chief Executive Officer (the "CEO") and Chief Financial Officer (the "CFO"), of the effectiveness of the
design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in the rules promulgated under the Exchange Act) as of
December 31, 2006. Based on that evaluation, our management, including the CEO and CFO, concluded that our disclosure controls and
procedures were effective as of December 31, 2006.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There has been no change to US Airways Group's, AWA's or US Airways' internal control over financial reporting that occurred
during the quarter ended December 31, 2006 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, US Airways
Group's, AWA's or US Airways' internal control over financial reporting other than controls established to properly account for the
merger and consolidation of acquired operations. US Airways Group will face significant challenges in integrating procedures and
operations in a timely and efficient manner and retaining key personnel. Management will continue to evaluate its internal control over
financial reporting as it executes merger integration activities as it is possible that integration activities could materially affect
US Airways Group's, AWA's or US Airways' internal control over financial reporting.
Limitation on the Effectiveness of Controls
We believe that a controls system, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives
of the controls system are met and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud,
if any, within a company have been detected. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of
achieving their objectives, and the CEO and CFO believe that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the "reasonable
assurance" level as of December 31, 2006.
Item 9B. Other Information
None.
PART III
The information required by Part III of this Form 10-K, pursuant to General Instruction G(3) of Form 10-K, will be set forth in
US Airways Group's definitive Proxy Statement to be filed pursuant to Regulation 14A relating to US Airways Group's Annual Meeting
of Stockholders on May 15, 2007 and is incorporated herein by reference. US Airways Group will, within 120 days of the end of its fiscal
year, file with the SEC a definitive proxy statement pursuant to Regulation 14A.
