US Airways of ~10 years ago sucked.
It was absorbed by an even crappier airline.
I work for a US Airways carrier. While it is AA and run from DFW, it’s largely US management running it. A new look, new fleet, new contract, new management, and I just got a raise. Watch out, Delta!
My worst flying experience ever was US Airways. Vowed never to fly with them again. Unfortunately every experience with American was getting progressively worse and I haven’t flown them in at least 5 years, so by now they are probably at least as bad.
Air travel is no fun anymore. Pay more, get less services while paying for every service a al carte, get crammed into smaller and smaller seats, more layovers and connections and it is all topped off with the indignity of TSA’s security theater. I used to enjoy flying, but haven’t flown in over three years now and I’m glad of it.
