Motion for a Temporary Dormancy Waiver
US Airways, Inc. hereby moves for a temporary dormancy waiver with respect to its services between (i) Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, and Cancun, Mexico, (ii) Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and Cancun, Mexico, and (iii) Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and Cozumel, Mexico. US Airways further seeks a waiver from the normal start-up conditions attached to new Mexico authorities with respect to its pending application for exemption authority to operate service between Baltimore, Maryland, and Cancun, Mexico.
Due to the devastation caused by Hurricane Wilma in Cancun/Cozumel, US Airways has been forced to revise its service plans for the above-described routes. US Airways currently anticipates that it will resume FLL-CUN service on or about January 31, 2006, and that it will resume PIT-CUN service on or about March 1, 2006. PHL-CZM service is projected to resume on or about December 1, 2006. Accordingly, US Airways requests a temporary waiver so that the 90-day dormancy periods for FLL-CUN, PIT-CUN, and PHL-CZM will commence on January 31, 2006, March 1, 2006, and December 1, 2006, respectively.
US Airways does not currently hold BWI-CUN authority but expects, under the terms of the recently negotiated amendments to the Air Transport Services Agreement between the Government of the United States of America and the Government of the United Mexican States, to receive such authority and the corresponding designation soon after the signing of the accord. Unfortunately, in light of the hurricane devastation, US Airways does not believe it will be able to start such a new service before December 1, 2006. Accordingly, US Airways requests a waiver from the normal start-up conditions imposed on new Mexico services until December 1, 2006.

Motion for a Temporary Dormancy Waiver - Clarification
On December 2, 2005, US Airways, Inc. filed a motion for a temporary dormancy waiver in the above-referenced dockets regarding its Ft. Lauderdale-Cancun, Pittsburgh-Cancun, and Philadelphia-Cozumel authorities. US Airways herein seeks to clarify its dormancy waiver request.
US Airways requests that the dormancy period not commence as to FLL-CUN and PIT-CUN until January 31, 2006, and March 1, 2006, respectively. With regard to PHL-CZM, US Airways is seeking a condition requiring it to start such services no later than December 1, 2006. We believe this request related to the PHL-CZM authority is consistent with the dormancy waiver recently granted to American Airlines. See NOAT, December 28, 2005 (Dockets OST-2001-9027, OST-2002-13389) (granting American dormancy waiver on STL-CUN and BOS-CUN authorities but "requir[ing] American to institute services no later than December 1, 2006").
