	AirDisaster.Com: Investigation: USAir 427
		USAir flight training records and interviews with other pilots confirmed that the USAir 427 flight crew were properly trained, capable, well-respected, and approached their duties with exemplary professionalism.
		USAir Flight 427's wake vortex encounter has relevance to the accident investigation only to the extent that it caused a momentary rudder input (by the flight crew or through the yaw damper) which, due to an unknown mechanical malfunction, translated into a hardover or reversed rudder.
		Like USAir Flight 427's encounter with a wake vortex, these test encounters did not generate significant yawing moment.The USAir Flight 427 FDR data shows that the aerodynamic reaction of the accident aircraft to its wake vortex encounter was identical to the routine wake vortex encounters described by Captain Cox and Mr.

		US Airways Flight 427 was a flight that flew from Chicago, Illinois's O'Hare International Airport to Pittsburgh International Airport near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, with a final destination of West Palm Beach, Florida.

	ALPA Report on USAir Flight 427
		USAir 427 was below the crossover speed and, due to the specific flight characteristics of a Boeing 737, lacked lateral control to return to wings level flight.
		The flight crew of USAir 427 had no way of determining what was wrong with their aircraft and why they could not regain or maintain control of their aircraft during the upset.
		USAir 427 flight profile is consistent with a rudder reversal due to secondary valve jam and primary valve failure and mis-positioning of the primary valve.

		USAir gave up lucrative routes between the United States and Britain when it became a code-share partner with British Airways in 1993, something that allowed joint booking of flights and coordinated schedules.
		USAir has an option to repurchase its stock held by British Airways in the next 60 days, but would not say whether it planned to do so.

	Pittsburgh Post-Gazette - Jet rolled, plummeted
		USAir Flight 427 was making a routine approach to Pittsburgh International Airport when it suddenly rolled sharply to the left and crashed 23 seconds later.
		USAir Chairman Seth Schofield said the five crashes suffered by the airline since 1989 were "totally dissimilar" and not indicative of a safety problem.
		"USAir is a very important factor in the economy of Pennsylvania," he said, and a key to whether the state and county earn back their investment in the $1 billion new terminal at Pittsburgh International.

		Rather than commit USAir to an expensive construction project, Colodny at one point proposed renovating the old airport terminal in Moon, a cramped, dingy facility that had opened in 1952.
		And in what was perhaps the low point for Foerster and the new terminal's other proponents, Colodny came to Pittsburgh in May 1984 and announced that the airline wouldn't support the construction of a new terminal.
		Foerster refused to take no for an answer and a growing USAir, then an industry darling, concluded that the old terminal no longer was able to meet its needs.

		The USAir woman gave a spirited explanation of how they were going to identify the 132 victims using a grid and flags to locate the body parts.
		For the USAir crash there was stronger evidence from the flight recorder pointing to the rudder, so Haueter's investigators had quickly focused on a device the size of a soda can that moved the big panel.

	Aviation lawyer obtains verdict for victims of USAir DC-9 airplane crash.
		March 8, 1997 - A South Carolina jury returned a verdict against USAir, finding that the flight crew's negligence caused the crash of a DC-9 aircraft while attempting to land in a thunderstorm at Charlotte-Douglas Airport on July 2, 1994.
		Rapoport and the trial team established that the USAir flight crew was negligent, not just the air traffic controllers as previously contended by the airline.
		This was a disaster that could have been avoided if the pilots followed their training instead of choosing to land with a thunderstorm on their approach path.

		In relation to the March trial, the court ruled before the trial commenced that the agreement would not be disclosed to the jury unless USAir told the jury about the government's formal admission of liability--which USAir did not.
		This was a fair agreement for the government, the victims, USAir and the taxpayer.

	Dannreuther & Chelm - Nationalize USAIR
		Now let's see if I understand this: USAIR asked the unions that have on two previous occasions released the company from its contractual wages and benefits, valued at $1 billion, to once again sacrifice, this time to the tune of $800 million [A demand more than doubled since we began writing].
		Despite the fact that former executives of USAIR walked away with huge retirement packages though decidedly responsible for the airline's decline, Pennsylvania's two senators blame the bankruptcy on the USAIR unions.
		Nonetheless we think nationalizing USAIR would be a good start towards public ownership of the entire industry as well as the shamefully neglected passenger rail service in the US.

		While those statements are designed to demonstrate to the court the seriousness of USAir's financial condition, it does little to reassure consumers who fly regularly on the airline - particularly those who have spring trips planned.
		USAir filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection after it was unable to win $800 million in concessions from the unions representing its employees, as part of the airline's $1.5 billion cost-restructuring plan.
		To make matters worse, USAir also said it expects reduced passenger revenue during the slower winter season, which would deprive it of much needed cash and leave it unable to operate.
