Race to the bottom takes a whole new meaning. I click over to the USAirways forum periodically since they still have a big influence on Pittsburgh and I'm burning through my last set of miles. I will have about 20k left in one account. Now I really don't know if its worth trying to top off since I'll have to pay to use it even if there's availability.

I can somewhat understand all the changes except removing the preferred bonus. USAirways can print their own money (miles) and just keep devaluing the program while still giving 'elites' a bone with extra miles. Instead, they slap them across the face?

I just hope that last one doesn't spread like a virus to other airlines.
