US Airways Dividend Miles - US Airways does realize B6 is going to fly out of DCA, right?

The reason why I ask....

I'm booking a one-way shuttle flight DCA-BOS for Friday December 3. (I'm taking Amtrak back as I've never taken Amtrak from Boston-NYC and would like to see the route.)

Anywho, JetBlue's lowest fare is $59 (none of these fares include tax), and highest is $79. Delta is $72 for all flights DCA-BOS on the 3rd.

USAirways? $347. For all flights. This is just one example. So far I've been booking all of my DCA-BOS-DCA travel on B6 because I'm a SkyTeam nothing and US isn't even trying to compete. I hope US has enough loyal fliers to succeed at this.

Really? Since this is a leisure trip and I don't need the segment to requalify for 1P I think I'll skip USAir on this one.

I think US might fill a lot of the BOS seats with connecting traffic. Still you would think they would try to be bit more competitive with the pricing.
