context_page_description: US Airways was a major American airline headquartered in Tempe, Arizona.
  The carrier operated the US Airways Shuttle, a US Airways brand that flew hourly between Logan International Airport in Boston, LaGuardia Airport in New York City, and Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport in Washington, D.C. As of October 2013, US Airways employed 32,312 people worldwide and operated 3,028 daily flights. Roughly 60% of US Airways flights were operated by US Airways Express.
  In October 1979, after the passage of the Airline Deregulation Act, Allegheny Airlines changed its name to USAir. A decade later it had acquired Piedmont Airlines and Pacific Southwest Airlines, and was one of the U.S.'s seven transcontinental legacy carriers. In 2005 America West Airlines carried out a reverse merger, acquiring the assets and branding of the larger US Airways while putting the America West leadership team largely in charge of the merged airline.
  In February 2013 American Airlines and US Airways announced plans to merge, creating the largest airline in the world. The holding companies of American and US Airways merged effective December 9, 2013.
context_section_description: By mid-2014, US Airways maintained a predominantly Airbus fleet, with some Boeing jets and small fleet of Embraer jets; one of which, the Embraer 190, was in the mainline fleet. The post-merger US Airways continued to operate the largest fleet of Airbus aircraft in the world.
  Subsidiaries Piedmont and PSA exclusively flew Bombardier CRJ (PSA), and de Havilland Dash 8 (DHC-8) / Embraer 145 (Piedmont).
