Dividend Miles Star Alliance Charts
Discovered this on the US website:
http://www.usairways.com/en-US/divid...lufthansa.html
http://www.usairways.com/en-US/divid...nce_swiss.html
http://www.usairways.com/en-US/divid...ance_thai.html
http://www.usairways.com/en-US/divid...aircanada.html
http://www.usairways.com/en-US/divid...e_croatia.html
I found many more as well, such as Austrian, ANA, and Asiana. Why do they leave them up on the website like this? Couldn't it confuse an ordinary traveller who isn't aware that US left Star Alliance? There isn't even any indication on many of the pages that US and the airline aren't partners anymore!

It appears that it's not actually that difficult to accidentally find these pages. For example, try the following Google search:

Well, it looks like US pulled those pages down sometime today. They were there when I read this thread this morning, and now they're all gone.
Kudos to US for lurking on FT, I guess?

And...they took it too far. They took off charts of any Star Alliance airline, including ones they still partner with such as A3 and TP.
