Hey maybe I am the only one with a long memory :-) While business is business, I still don't think US Airways bargained/worked with Allegheny County and the City of Pittsburgh in good faith. So for me I voted with my wallet and United became my primary airline and my other business is widely spreadout depending on price and convenience between Airtran, Delta, and Southwest. United doesn't provide good service to southern Florida which is one of my regular leisure destinations. Now with Continental as part of Star Alliance, I'll see if they can meet that need for me (though I stay away from EWR like the plague). To this day, I still try to avoid giving US business and only do so as a last resort. I am sure my small amount of business has no impact on US but it still feels like the correct ethical thing to do for me. Each to their own....
