US Airways is well known - as a Piece of Shiesse joke airline. I have to say that funny enough, I feel "dirty" flying on a carrier with the name US Airline.
I am angry enough over the Doug's reluctance to put that crappy airline's name behind them to book all of my flights on AA. And I am based in PHX. I've lived in Australia, Singapore, UK, Netherlands and the USA. Have seen loads of airline consolidation - no reasonable answer why they would continue a super sub-standard brand like US Airways. What a hog!
IMHO Doug made his first
huge mistake by not putting a wooden stake in the heart of the country's worst airline's name.
