Sorry if this has been covered, I did search. With the merger of USAir & AWest does anybody know if flights on USAir will count @ Virgin Atlantic. AWest does currently, but USAir doesn't.
Spoke with a Virgin custservrep & they had no idea.

At this time, you can not get US Airways miles by flying on Virgin Atlantic. However, for now the best thing for you to do is sign up for an America West account and accrue America West miles. As long as both your USAirways account and America West account are totally identical in terms of name address, and etc; your miles will transfer over to the Dividend Miles program in late spring. Furthermore, I believe that both your 2006 miles and segments under the HP program will count towards elite status, once the America West Flight Fund and USAirways Dividend Miles programs are merged.

To answer the OP's question, I am not sure if Virgin Atlantic will count US Airways flights in the future for their program, but I am assuming if Tempe continues the deal, it will extend to the whole airline. The problem today, is that we have two airlines with two differnt frequent flier programs. Wait until May when Dividend Miles will be king and see what happens.
