| Abstract: | The ratings on US Airways Group Inc. reflect participation in the high-risk U.S. airline industry, a substantial debt burden, limited financial flexibility, and ongoing labor integration problems. Ratings also incorporate the company's improved route network after the merger of America West Holdings Corp. and US Airways and modest annual debt maturities through 2013. US Airways has reported losses since the fourth quarter of 2007 (ended Dec. 31), due primarily to rising fuel prices that peaked in July 2008 at $147 a barrel. Although fuel prices have since abated substantially, they remain high by historical standards and Standard&Poor's Ratings Services expects them to remain volatile. Like other airlines, the company has announced plans to reduce capacity–-a decline of 5%
