The company is in the process of setting up trust funds for the children. Details should be released in the next few days once the paperwork is completed.

Hawk, that is the right thing to do. We'd all like to contribute so please let us know how we can all do that.

Look at me. I was there.

Shut the Hell up. this is not about some morbid pilot!

I agree. It amazes me that in such a horrible, horrible, sad event that you know who needs to be the center of attention. I find this deeply disturbing.

1/Memorial trust fund in honor of Yolanda Corbett

The loss of our fellow employee Yolanda Corbett at
Reagan National Airport on Tuesday has deeply touched
many of you, as well as some of our customers who
learned of this terrible accident through media
reports. The outreach to help Yolanda's two daughters
ages 11 and 12, and other members of her family, has
been extraordinary.

Over the past few days, US Airways has taken the steps
to set up a Trust Fund account for the children. The
Yolanda Corbett Memorial Trust Fund has now been
established to help support Yolanda's daughters.
US Airways has contributed $20,000 -- $10,000 for each
child -- to the fund, which is being handled through
Wachovia Bank.

Standley Brady, a US Airways Fleet Service Agent at
Reagan National Airport, also began collecting money
to help support the Corbett family members. He has
been instrumental in coordinating this gesture of good
will. America West employees also expressed their
desire to donate.

"Our employees have been working closely with
Yolanda's family during this difficult time, and the
family has conveyed their appreciation for the efforts
and expressions of sympathy so many US Airways
employees have shown," said Senior Vice President of
Corporate Affairs Chris Chiames.

Employees desiring to contribute to the Fund may send
checks (made payable to the Yolanda Corbett Memorial
Trust Fund) to Wachovia Bank, Attention Evelyn
Scarborough, 1300 I St., NW, 12th Floor, Washington,
D.C. 20005. Donations also can be made at any
Wachovia branch.

The Yolanda Corbett trust fund is a great company gesture and I encourage all employees to contribute whatever you can.

Bottom line is this was a woman who was trying to support her family and in the end paid her life. My synpathy and heart broken prayers go out to her and her family. If therre is anything that we can do, financially or spiritually, please let us know.
