I'd loved your post so much that I fired off the following to USAirways:

I have just read about the new policy regarding non-refundable tickets. I am specifically interested in this statement from the website: "This change makes purchasing airline tickets like many other products that people buy for a specific date and time such as Broadway shows and sporting events. If you miss the event, your ticket isn't good for the next day," said Baldanza. "

This being said, as I can't use an upcoming USAirways ticket, I'd like to give it to a friend of mine, just as I would with a theatre ticket I can't use. Please honor your comparison and make this possible. Many thanks.
