It was done post-US/HP merger, but it's primarily celebratory and doesn't cost them anything, so I can't see why they would want to change it.
Yeah, I think it was one of these hokey our history and heritage ideas. Also, probably to try to develop some love between USAir and America West flight personnel, which doesn't seem like it has worked very well
. I did a LAS/JFK USAir flight awhile back and the F FA acted like USAir FAs were the anti-christ. When I asked her is she was former USAir or America West she said that she was not "one of them" (refering to USAir FAs).
