US Airways at DCA helped me out before when I showed up late a few times -- but that was late like half an hour or an hour (and once it was because someone jumped on the Metro tracks
) -- but, like you, I wouldn't necessarily count on agents there being understanding or helpful, at least not every agent every time. 52 minutes is too close a shave even under near perfect conditions, and it could potentially give a few financial nicks. Now what I'm wondering is if US has a same-day confirmed standby or same-day change type option formalized. For that info, I'd call up USAirways and/or look on the USAirways portion of FT.
