US Airways Flight Blows Tire

US Airways Flight 1241 from Philadelphia blew a tire upon landing in Tampa, Florida this afternoon. There were no injuries reported to either crew or passengers. A runway at Tampa International Airport has been shut down while debris is being cleared which may create delays for subsequent flights.

New Expense Fees for Future Care: The America West Airlines 401(k) Plan Pyramis Active Lifecycle Commingled Pools Fund

The Pyramis Active Lifecycle Commingled Pools are an investment option offered in the US Airways, Inc. Employee Savings Plan, US Airways, Inc. 401(k) Savings Plan for Pilots and Future Care: The America West Airlines 401(k) Plan. Beginning July 1, 2009, an administrative fee to cover pricing & bookkeeping expenses will be charged to each of the Pyramis Active Lifecycle Commingled Pools.

The net impact of the fee ranges from 0.005% to 0.02% of the assets in the individual underlying pools, depending on the pool's size. The fee will be reflected in the net asset value (NAV) of the Pyramis Active Lifecycle Commingled Pools, although given the small amount of the fee, it is anticipated that any impact to the NAV will be negligible. The fee is also not anticipated to increase the expense ratio of the Pyramis Active Lifecycle Commingled Pools. Pyramis Global Advisors, the manager of the Pyramis pools, previously absorbed these expenses but has made this change to reflect standard practice in the investment industry. This fee is being imposed by the Pyramis Global Advisors, the manager of the Pyramis pools, and not US Airways. If you have any questions regarding these charges, please contact the Fidelity Service Center for US Airways at 1-800-354-3412.
