AA used to, but they stopped a couple years ago. Though not US based, BA and BMI both do.

The article is interesting, but I think it's a bit of an oversimplification of certain things. It strikes me as trying to stuff a very complicated model into a very simple form, which usually creates a situation in which the author forces examples to fit a certain theory instead of choosing examples that support that theory.
