Well, according to US'
customer service plan....
For Domestic flights:
If the passenger's arrival at his or her final destination is greater than one hour but less than two hours past their original scheduled arrival, involuntary compensation is 100 percent of the sum of the values of the remaining flight coupons of the ticket to the next stopover, but not to exceed $200
If the passenger's arrival at their final destination is two hours or more past their original scheduled arrival, involuntary compensation is 200 percent of the sum of the values of the remaining flight coupons of the ticket to the next stopover, but not to exceed $400
On the other hand, the paragraph right above this, says...
Passengers are entitled to a payment of "denied boarding compensation" from US Airways, unless:
...
A smaller capacity aircraft was substituted for safety or operational reasons.
....
So it looks like you "lucked" out if you get the $200 check...
