SECOND AMENDMENT TO THE
US AIRWAYS GROUP, INC.
NONEMPLOYEE DIRECTOR DEFERRED STOCK UNIT PLAN
(as amended and restated effective May 16, 2000)

            WHEREAS, US Airways Group, Inc. (the Company") maintains the US Airways Group, Inc. Nonemployee Director Deferred Stock Unit Plan (the "Plan"); and

            WHEREAS, Section 7.1 of the Plan provides that the Board of Directors of the Company may amend the Plan from time to time, subject to the limitations set forth therein; and

            WHEREAS, the Company desires to amend the Plan.

            NOW, THEREFORE, the Plan is hereby amended as follows:

            1.         Section 2(b) of the Plan is hereby restated in its entirety to read as follows:

                       (b)        "Change of Control" shall mean:

                       (i)         The acquisition by an individual, entity or group (within the meaning of
                       Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act) of beneficial ownership
                       (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of 30%
                       or more of either (A) the then outstanding shares of common stock of the
                       Corporation (the "Outstanding Group Common Stock") or (B) the combined
                       voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of the Corporation
                       entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (the "Outstanding Group
                       Voting Securities"); provided, however, that the following acquisitions shall not
                       constitute a Change of Control: (v) any acquisition directly from the Corporation,
                       (w) any acquisition by the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries, (x) any acquisition
                       by any employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained
                       by the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries, (y) any acquisition by any corporation
                       with respect to which, following such acquisition, more than 85% of, respectively,
                       the then outstanding shares of common stock of such corporation and

1

                       the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of such
                       corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, is then beneficially
                       owned, directly or indirectly, by all or substantially all of the individuals
                       and entities who were beneficial owners, respectively of the Outstanding
                       Group Common Stock and Outstanding Group Voting Securities in substantially
                       the same proportions as their ownership, immediately prior to such acquisition,
                       of the Outstanding Group Common Stock and Outstanding Group Voting
                       Securities, as the case may be or (z) any acquisition by an individual, entity or group
                       that, pursuant to Rule 13d-1 promulgated under the Exchange Act, is permitted to,
                       and actually does, report its beneficial ownership of Outstanding Group Common
                       Stock and Outstanding Group Voting Securities on Schedule 13G (or any successor
                       Schedule); provided further, that if any such individual, entity or group subsequently
                       becomes required to or does report its ownership of Outstanding Group Common
                       Stock and Outstanding Group Voting Securities on Schedule 13D (or any successor
                       Schedule) then, for purposes of this Section 2(b)(i), such individual, entity or group
                       shall be deemed to have first acquired, on the first date on which such individual,
                       entity or group becomes required to or does so file, beneficial ownership of all of the
                       Outstanding Group Common Stock and Outstanding Group Voting Securities
                       beneficially owned by it on such date; or

                       (ii)       Individuals who, as of the date hereof, constitute the Board (the "Incumbent
                       Board") cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board; provided,
                       however, that any individual becoming a director subsequent to the date hereof
                       whose election, or nomination for election by the Corporation's shareholders, was
                       approved by a vote of at least a majority of the directors then comprising the
                       Incumbent Board shall be considered as though such individual were a member of the
                       Incumbent Board, but excluding, for this purpose, any such individual whose initial
                       assumption of office occurs as a result of either an actual or threatened election
                       contest (as such terms are used in Rule 14a-11 of Regulation 14A promulgated
                       under the Exchange Act) or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or
                       consents; or

2

                       (iii)      There is consummated a reorganization, merger or consolidation, in each case,
                       with respect to which all or substantially all of the individuals and entities who were
                       the beneficial owners, respectively, of the Outstanding Group Common Stock
                       and Outstanding Group Voting Securities immediately prior to such reorganization,
                       merger or consolidation, beneficially own, directly or indirectly, less than 85% of,
                       respectively, the then outstanding shares of common stock and the combined voting
                       power of the then outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the
                       election of directors, as the case may be, of the corporation resulting from such
                       reorganization, merger or consolidation (or any parent thereof) in substantially the
                       same proportions as their ownership, immediately prior to such reorganization,
                       merger or consolidation of the Outstanding Group Common Stock and the
                       Outstanding Group Voting Securities, as the case may be; or

                       (iv)        Approval by the shareholders of the Corporation of a complete
                       liquidation or dissolution of the Corporation or the consummation of the sale or other
                       disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, other than to a
                       corporation with respect to which, following such sale or other disposition, more
                       than 85% of, respectively, the then outstanding shares of common stock of such
                       corporation and the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities
                       of such corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors is then
                       beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by all or substantially all of the individuals
                       and entities who were the beneficial owners, respectively, of the Outstanding
                       Group Common Stock and Outstanding Group Voting Securities immediately
                       prior to such sale or other disposition in substantially the same proportion as their
                       ownership, immediately prior to such sale or other disposition, of the Outstanding
                       Group Common Stock and Outstanding Group Voting Securities, as the case may
                       be.

            This Amendment shall be effective as of January 16, 2002, the date of its adoption by the Board.
