i fly to/from pit and lga/hpn two or three times week...the flights have been at least 75% full and often times are completely full...also, these routes, pit-lga and pit-hpn rt, have seen a noticable pickup in fares...rt is now about $341 starting in may up from $180-$220...can anybody explain the fare increase? maybe no competition on those routes and fuller flights make the routes good fare hike canidates? i dont know...

Just wanted to bump this up, given the fact that it sounds as though many CPs have given up on US. Is there still anyone left to tell us how full their flights are?
I myself haven't flown US since last September. Much higher percentage of flights upgraded w/DL. But it could have been due to a higher than average percentage of CPs in RDU?

I would not go as far to say as many of us have given up on US Airways. I think many are trying other options especially since they had those outstanding promotions earlier this year. I am already CP until 2007 like many others so trying something different might now be such a bad idea.

USAirwaysfan, this is the first post I've seen from you in a V E R Y L O N G time -- you had always been the one remaining cheerleader for US.

And I am still cheering for them (the front line employees that is). I hope everything works out for them. I actually hope the US/HP merger happens and the management of HP takes the helm. I am certainly happy that they would continue to fly under the banner US Airways 
US Airways is under going a painful transformation. But I am going to see it through all the way. Remember way back I said that I would ride this to the very end. I am not going back on my word. Some people already have. Nothing is going to break my spirt and if things were to ever fold I will be there. But I am still holding on to hope. And so far it has worked.
I was going to post a really positive thread on here about an outstanding flight from Spain that i had last month...but there has been so much negative news on these boards I knew it would just get lost in the forum.
Lately I have been lurking on here but I am still here.
I am off to Barcelona now. I might post a trip report.
US Airways does not have the best service, but the employees still do it for me. I will continue to stay loyal to them until I am given a choice not to.

How are the Loads/Service on the US 2/3 flights from PHL (Phila) to FCO (ROME) - I took this route a few times last year for work - and now this yaer will be my 1st run in 1.5 weeks (sun-fri) May 15-20.
Hows the services - still pretty good even in coach? PHL airport lounges? Nice?

I just came back and my flights were 100% full in both directions with US offering $600 plus vouchers and hotel as incentive to fly back the next day. Admittedly, I was there in the middle of dead Pope/no Pope/new Pope. I can't comment on service in Y (thus the screenname!
) but the PHL Envoy lounge is still excellent and the contracted lounge in FCO hasn't changed a bit either--still loud and sterile.

BCN PHL 1235 1510 US AIRWAYS FLIGHT 0949 Oversold and arrived 20 minutes early into PHL
PHL DCA 1800 1835 US AIRWAYS FLIGHT 0011 100% FIRST, 100% COACH and arrived 20 minutes early.

DCA YYZ 0929 1030 US AIRWAYS EXPRESS FLIGHT 2582 (OPERATED BY PSA AIRLINES) 100% FULL ARRIVED 25 MINUTES EARLY.
Looks like the all together on time program is working. All my flights this week have pushed back on time and arrived early so far. Even out of PHL I was shocked. We left the gate on time and we were #2 in que for take off.

Flew flight 98 PHL-LGW on 5/26
1 seat left in coach, Envoy 100% full. Upgraded with a SA at the gate as a GP. Only person using such an upgrade and it only opened up an hour before the flight when someone cancelled.
Flight sat on the runway for an hour before takeoff. Arrived 45 mins late.
Return on 5/31 not looking quite so full, which is good for my upgrade, bad for US.

I also got frozen out of a kiosk check-in 28mins prior to a flight and had to talk to TA, and I'm still not daring enough to check a bag, but I digress.
I don't normally scope out the plane but 357, 759, 527, 525, 82 were all full-to-one-seat-empty in F.
