How is US Air not an abbreviation of US Airways?

Just because it used to be called US Air doesn't really change the fact that it is an abbreviation or am I missing something?

I call it US Air because it's easier/a nickname.

(I still say Philly too, which will probably get me banished to south jersey soon)
