Currently, US Airways' first class product is probably the worst among major carriers. UnitedFirst is much nicer, you will probably get a decent meal served on china. US Airways uses plastic cups to serve beverages on all domestic first class flights now. Horrible.
Absolutely correct. Even on a transcon business class (and first is nicer) on UA you will get a decent meal on a china. Hot towels, probably at take of and landing, etc. Far above US service. And this is in business on UA, again, first will be nicer. I think (someone correct me if Im wrong here) that on transcons you also get access to the first class lounges if you are in first. At least at JFK. Not sure how that works though.
