The amazing thing that my dad pointed out to me in the 1990s was that US has a history of merging airlines and soiling the decent one. Piedmont was "good", Allegheny was "bad". The result was "bad". PSA was "good", US Air was "bad". There aren't even remnants of PSA. HP was "not bad", US Air was "terrible"... UA is decent, US is "god-awful"...
