I feel their was many different ways this could have been handled without me being in the middle and the first way would be to be polite and as USAir was doing try to get me to my destination and not on stand by.
Something that might help in future:
Ensure your reservation was actually reticketed.
Get a print-out showing the updated itinerary and the ticket# (not just conf#).
These things happen. You got on the plane in the class you paid for, stop worrying about it. I've been downgraded from paid F during irrops (opby US) and all I got was "you're lucky to get a Y seat, do you want to get home today?" Nothing much to do in such a situation but ask the
ticketing carrier for compensation.
