The schedule change may open it right up for you. So far my original flight from PHL-ORD is still the same, so I guess I'll be taking a train or bus to PHL to start the trip. I would rather have flown out of IAD or DCA.
ZGringo - The USAir flight schedule change wasn't enough to get US (or AA) to budge and put us on a DCA vs PHL flight. Though Orbitz was able to contact AA on my behalf and put us on an AA PHL-ORD flight at a much better time than the US PHL-ORD flight that we got put on given the US schedule change.
Also just wanted to report back that Lynne from Orbitz who posted above was awesome in helping me and my 3 companions all get moved from the USAIR flight none of us could make and put us all on the same better timed AA flight!
