Yes, this was a typo. I have 3K in United and 5K in US Air.

How do I do this...or can I do this at this point? I could totally switch to United, they have the same availability in my cities (of course, for about $50-$150 more per ticket). And I always get those 5% off certificates from them every so often, which hasn't proved to be a good buy yet because the 5% discount is what I would pay in gas to an alternate airport.
