This makes it even more difficult for US to survive as it won´t take long till regular US customers start looking for better U.S. airlines (if there are any...).
I surely did think about the status of all these people working for US Air. It was at the top of my mind through all the processes of arranging my flight. There was indeed an air of detachment from many of those hard working people and I understood it. Still, I thought I would report what happened.
Others in all legs of my trip to the States and back to Frankfurt showed some smiling faces and others that had a 'deer in the headlights' look about them.
But you are correct about the quality of their fleet. Although there were signs of wear and tear (to be expected with thousands of flyers per week aboard these craft) these were the Airbus 330's and they are nice for a long distance flight.
I would fly US Air again if they survive this. There is so much negative reports written in this forum, it sounds ominous.
