As part of our Beyond School Walls partnership program with Big Brother Big Sisters of Central Arizona, students and their US Airways mentor spent this week preparing and competing in the Match Olympics. Each pair choose a country to represent their team, learned interesting facts and competed in fun activities like Frisbee, Baseball, Hula Hoop and many others.

Lucky winners Pamela Salud and Nikka Landau were whisked off to Tel Aviv for a five-night stay courtesy of US Airways at its third annual “Suitcase Soirée” benefit in Philadelphia. Traveling in Envoy, US Airways’ international business class, both women could literally take comfort in knowing they were helping raise money for the US Airways Education Foundation, which has awarded more than $3.8 million in college scholarships to dependents of US Airways employees and education grants to non-profit organizations. Later today an additional 102 students will be notified of their $2,500 scholarship.

Congratulations to our newest class of flight attendants, who graduated this week in Phoenix, AZ. Welcome aboard!

Over 100 employees from our Finance Department participated in a team building volunteer project at St. Mary’s Food Bank Alliance and helped pack over 50,000 meals!! These meals were packed into emergency food boxes that are distributed to community members in need.

US Airways recently honored 25 employees as recipients of the 2011 Annual Chairman’s Award, our most prestigious award. Winners include employees who went the extra mile for a fellow employee; employees who showed extraordinary compassion for our customers when they needed it most; those who have saved the Company money while others picked up a flight or came in on their day off so our customers would still arrive at their destinations. Nearly 170 employees were selected from 540 nominations to receive a quarterly award; the top 25, pictured here with recipients of a special “teamwork” award, are selected to receive the annual award and enjoy a celebratory dinner with members of our senior leadership team.

Our Tech Ops team is over 3,500 strong. Here is just a handful of our overnight PHX crew hard at work to ensure the safety of our aircraft - a small glimpse into the great work that’s done 24/7 in preparation to get our operation launched for the next day.

We value the hard work and dedication of our employees and over the weekend we celebrated the 50th anniversary of Line Maintenance Supervisor James “Red” Leslie. Our Senior Vice President, Technical Operations David Seymour was on hand in Charlotte to present the award as a sign of our appreciation for Red’s commitment over the years.
