Seats aren't lie-flat but you can sit upstairs in some very large legroom rows.
I'm also betting this is your lowest cost option.
Miles go to USAir, one of the OP's preferences above.
-ps is cool, but doesn't hold a candle to jl or nh imo.
-i'm pretty sure that ua is nowhere close to the lowest cost option. (i know mu, ca, oz, and ke are considerably cheaper and i have a hunch jl and nh are cheaper as well).
