Let's see.. mileage runners are maybe .001% of all travelers? Sounds like a great reason for a pejorative strike. At the same time, USAir is kissing off 36.999% of its frequent travelers (non-mileage runners).

I hope USAir now goes Chapter 7 for this action. The rest of the traveling public is better off without them, even though it means decreased competition.
