That's odd, since HP went the way of the LCCs and they're apparently looking to expand from their PHX and LAS clubs to add one in LAX...granted, they still charge $260 for an elite for one year, and they just have 4 clubs.

Yet, they continue to put on a face. As if anyone is really spending $3K to travel full fare FC with plastic glassware and cold day old sandwiches. So it's going to be drip, drip, drip... And with each drip you'll hear the screams of the remaining loyal FFs....

Frequent US Airways flier Art Pushkin of Long Island, N.Y., says he's disappointed by the latest closures, especially the California clubs.
"Business travelers no longer have a reason to favor US Airways for a transcontinental flight," he says.
The clubs are "indispensable," Pushkin says, because they provide respite during long layovers, meeting space and VIP treatment.
Airline marketing consultant Jay Sorensen expects the move to generate "nasty mail" from frequent fliers who depend on the clubs.
"My guess is they're in for a lifetime supply of lipstick as well" said L4PI, an angry cockroach from NC
