Ugh. After the Smisek-ization of UNITED, I've spent a lot of time on US on A fares out of DCA. LOVE the convenience. Love never sweating upgrades. With TSA Pre, I can be from my front door in Clarendon to a gate in about 15 minutes.
I fear that AA is going to, ironically, take away the reasonable US A fares.
I can't really see myself going back to Smisek.
I guess I'll just take whoever offers the cheapest fare that books into F regardless of airline or airport.
