USAir routes arent really that great outside of shuttle convenience. if you fly to west coast or international, you have to make a connection regardless. hence i recommend United/CO program.
Since the OP claims to fly ~30K/annum, and since UA Premier DirtSilver in 2012 will be only slightly better than a swift kick in the groin, UA is not such a great idea IMO.
