The fair value of stock options and SARs is determined at the grant date using a Black-Scholes option pricing model, which requires
several assumptions. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect for the expected term of the stock
option or SAR at the time of grant. The dividend yield is assumed to be zero since US Airways Group does not pay dividends and has no
current plans to do so in the future. The volatility is based on the historical volatility of US Airways Group's common stock over a time
period equal to the expected term of the stock option or SAR. The expected life of stock options and SARs is based on the historical
experience of US Airways Group. 164
