I wish I had enormous amounts of time on my hands like you, PineyBob. My yard would look so much better.
Why do you do this? Come on, step back for a moment and look at what you've written (this post I'm quoting plus many others).
You spent an hour on the phone with Consumer Affairs? You almost got cut off because you couldn't control yourself? That's just sad.
I recommend you get therapy for your obsessive/compulsive problem and overall anger problem with US Airways.

Perhaps you should re read the post a little more carefully. I did not say that I lost control, I said that I almost lost the ear of the listener because I had become a bit to strident. As for why do I do it?
Take a step back? I think not! I will NEVER Retreat on this issue as long as I am a FF'er. If you desire to be part of the sheep who are continually sheered by the customer unfriendly actions of the major airlines be my guest. I choose to stand and fight. WHY? Because I can! I have a travel job that keeps me away form home plus a LD relationship so I have the free time.
Just some food for thought JS in the form of some famous quotes.
"Those who stand for nothing will fall for anything"
And finally from Teddy Roosevelt,
It is not the critic who counts; not the one who points out how the strong person stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the person who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by the dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, and comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself or herself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he or she fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his or her place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.
As Paul harvey says "Now you know....The rest of the story... Good Day"
