Wow this is really a shame.

As a former US Airways flyer, I flew on the A330s many times between PHL/CLT and Europe. US Airways was among the first airlines in the world to have lie-flat/all-aisle access in business class with their A330 Envoy Suites. I remember the first time I was lucky enough to sit in one (it was kind of like roulette when Envoy service first rolled out). Compared with the B767s that they replaced, these aircraft were a huge improvement! Even in coach, it wasn't a bad ride, and it was one of the first times I recall that nearly every seat had access to IFE and power.
