393 miles each way. USAir has a 500 mile minimum. R/T = 1000 miles.
52 weeks x 1000 miles = 52000 miles annually. Add to that elite bonus which I think is 50%?
Personally, I'd open a United account and credit your miles to UA. That would make you a
1P (Premier Exec) and get 100% bonus miles for a grand total of 104,000 miles annually. That will take you far away ie Europe or Asia, on an award ticket; vs a domestic ticket with B6.
I'd suffer thru the RJ's for that alone.
