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 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 included herein.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
An evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of US Airways Group'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, 2011. Based on that evaluation, our management, including the
CEO and CFO, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2011.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There has been no change to US Airways Group's or US Airways' internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended
December 31, 2011 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, US Airways Group'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, 2011.
