 EXHIBIT 10.1 
  
 US AIRWAYS FUNDED EXECUTIVE DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PLAN 
  
 This Plan is established as of the 16th day of October, 2003, by US AIRWAYS, INC., a Delaware corporation, as a
nonqualified deferred compensation plan. This Plan is intended to be fully funded. 
  
 WHEREAS, it is in the best interests of the Company to employ and retain competent and loyal management personnel; and 
  
 WHEREAS, certain executives of the Company have previously participated in and been provided supplemental executive retirement arrangements with
the Company, as evidenced by the Prior SERPs; and 
  
 WHEREAS, the Company desires to reward its executives for their services, to encourage the continued employment of the executives with the Company and to promote the executives’ devotion to duties on behalf of the Company by
providing a supplemental executive retirement benefit in such a manner as to avoid uncertainty or concern as to the security of the executives’ supplemental retirement benefit; and 
  
 WHEREAS, as part of the recent First Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization of US Airways Group, Inc. and its
Affiliated Debtors and Debtors-in-Possession, dated January 17, 2003 (the “Reorg Plan”), the Company has agreed to continue to provide the supplemental executive retirement arrangements outlined in the Prior SERPs, modified as outlined in
the Reorg Plan; and 
  
 WHEREAS, in order to effectuate the
modifications outlined in the Reorg Plan, the Company and the executives have agreed to amend and restate the Prior SERPs, a portion of which shall be provided under this Plan, and therefore, this document (together with the US Airways Unfunded
Executive Defined Contribution Plan and the relevant Participation Agreements) shall be considered an amendment and restatement of the Prior SERPs; 
  
 WHEREAS, as part of this amendment and restatement, and as provided under the Reorg Plan, the supplemental executive retirement arrangements shall
be converted from their prior defined benefit format into a defined contribution format; and 
  
 WHEREAS, the Company wishes to use this amended and restated Funded Executive Defined Contribution Plan to provide supplemental retirement benefits to certain executives listed on Exhibit A who do not currently
have Prior SERPs; 







 NOW, THEREFORE, the Company hereby enters into this Funded Executive Defined Contribution Plan, as
follows:

more primary and contingent beneficiaries to receive his or her Retirement Benefit, and may designate the proportions in which such beneficiaries are to receive such payments. The Participant may change such designations from time to time, and the

Participant’s Account.

request in its sole and complete discretion, provided that no such request shall be approved unless it meets the conditions that must be met in order to make a hardship withdrawal under the US Airways, Inc. Employee 
  

 8 








 Savings Plan, or the Human Resources Committee determines that the reasons specified in the request justify a withdrawal.
Upon the Human Resources Committee approving any withdrawal, the Administrator shall furnish the Trustee with instructions directing the Trustee to make the withdrawal from the Participant’s Account in a lump-sum payment to the Participant. The
amount of any withdrawal shall be determined by the value of the amounts credited to the Participant’s Account under the Plan as of the date that the authorized directions are received by the Trustee from the Administrator to make the
withdrawal payment, or such other date as hereinafter determined by the Administrator (the “Withdrawal Date”). Upon approval of a request for a withdrawal pursuant to this Section 6.1, the Administrator shall instruct the Trustee to sell
