Fresh from its merger with America West, US Airways said Wednesday it is moving about 70 jobs from Winston-Salem to Tempe, Ariz.

The move will consolidate the two airlines' consumer relations departments, which handle complaints. Currently, the airline has more than 400 workers in Winston-Salem, most of whom handle reservations for elite frequent fliers.

US Airways spokesman Philip Gee said the Winston-Salem workers whose jobs are moving will be offered "generous relocation packages."
