thanks!
Lurk no more. Welcome.
You hit it on the head. UA allocates very few award seats to US Air so getting an award through the US Air desk using its miles on UA is tough but not impossible.
To get better replies you might want to search word united or words united awards in the US Air forum.
Hope this helps.
