This Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13G (this "Amendment") amends the
Schedule 13G initially filed on September 5, 2003 (collectively, with all
amendments thereto, the "Schedule 13G").
First Preliminary Note: The Reporting Persons are filing this Schedule
13G with respect to the Class A Common Stock, par value $1.00 per share ( the
"Class A Common Stock"), of US Airways Group, Inc. (the "Company"). The initial
Schedule 13G previously reported that Aviation Acquisition, L.L.C. ("Aviation
Acquisition"), one of the Reporting Persons listed below, OCM Principal
Opportunities Fund II, L.P. ("OCM"), a private equity-based fund managed by
Oaktree Capital Management, LLC ("Oaktree"), Goldman Sachs & Co. and The Goldman
Sachs Group, Inc. ("Goldman"), the parent holding company of Goldman Sachs &
Co., could be deemed to be members of a group as defined by Rule 13d-5(b) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), due to certain
terms and conditions in connection with such parties' investment in the Class A
Common Stock. Aviation Acquisition, OCM and Goldman are not members of such a
potential group and therefore Aviation Acquisition may no longer be deemed to
beneficially own the equity securities of the Company that the other members of
such potential group beneficially own pursuant to Rule 13(d)-5(b) of the
Exchange Act.
Second Preliminary Note: Effective as of January 1, 2005, each of
Noonday G.P. (U.S.), L.L.C. (the "First Noonday Sub-adviser") and Noonday Asset
Management, L.P. (the "Second Noonday Sub-adviser") entered into an investment
subadvisory agreement with the Management Company, under which the First Noonday
Sub-adviser and the Second Noonday Sub-adviser are granted investment authority
over certain securities and instruments owned by the Partnerships and Managed
Accounts. Noonday Capital, L.L.C. (the "Noonday General Partner") serves as the
Page 17 of 22 Pages
general partner of the Second Noonday Sub-adviser. David I. Cohen serves as the
