Worldwide Diversity & Inclusion
Supporting the person and the professional is a priority for US
At US Airways, worldwide diversity and inclusion is more than just understanding the differences of race or gender. It’s about understanding and embracing the individual characteristics, values, beliefs and personal life experiences of our workforce and our customers. For US, diversity and inclusion is critical to our ability to attract, recruit, retain, develop and advance the best people from around the world. Different backgrounds, cultures and experiences provide wider, brighter perspectives that enhance our work culture, decision making and business strategy. We believe individual differences, combined and focused, can contribute to stronger results.
We foster an environment that celebrates diversity and our executives support employee programs such as Business Resource Groups (BRGs), which are sponsored by officers. Diverse backgrounds, cultures and experiences provide a wider, brighter array of perspectives that improve our work culture, decision making and business strategy.
A welcoming culture for all employees
Our commitment to diversity and inclusion is firm and demonstrated through our anti-harassment and non-discrimination policies, outreach and recruitment efforts, diversity education programs and our Business Resource Groups.
Chairman and CEO Doug Parker speaks about the importance of diversity and inclusion at US Airways and its positive impact on our airline and culture.

Women Worth Watching
Profiles in Diversity Journal
Suzanne Boda is a Woman Worth Watching! Senior Vice President, Airport Customer Service, International and Cargo, Suzanne Boda, was named as one of Profiles in Diversity Journal’s 'Women Worth Watching' for 2013. The publication’s September/October issue is dedicated to acknowledging the achievements and personalities of leading women executives. Ten executives, including Boda, were nominated by colleagues, peers and mentors for demonstrating initiative and earning achievements or accolades within their industries.
LGBT equality group rates US top employer
The Human Rights Campaign (HRC) released its 11th annual Corporate Equality Index (CEI) report and US Airways was one of the top-rated companies among more than 680 corporations.
We voluntarily participate in the annual report and improved our 2013 ranking of 90% over last year’s 85% score. Delta, Southwest, Virgin America, JetBlue and Alaska Airlines also scored 90%, while United and American scored 100%. The 10 points separating most airlines from a 100% rating are gender identity-related medical plans. (Our benefits department continues to review medical coverage policies.)
HRC also praised our business resource group, Spectrum, for positively engaging in lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community events.
LATINA Style
LATINA Style magazine selected US Airways for the third time as one of the 50 best companies for Latinas to work for in the U.S. in its LATINA Style 50 Report for 2012. US Airways was the only airline included among the top 50 companies.
