Today I flew into PIT and all I can think of is what PIT used to be and what could happen to CLT at any time. This link from Wikipedia sums up what happened to PIT at the hands of the airport and US Airways. My personal experience with PIT: I started traveling for business…

Weekly Recap July 22/29
I’m sorry, this is again a bi-weekly recap. Recently I just seem to crash right after work so it’s hard to schedule posts or stay ontop of things. July 22: Flew direct CLT-SYR on US Airways. I was upgraded on this route, probably because I flew in the afternoon instead of the morning. Then we…
US Airways app finally released

US Airways does have some great flight attendants
I know I bash US Airways a lot. I like Delta’s service much better and I like to point out US’s shortcomings. Yesterday’s flight from CLT to DEN was an exception. The lady working First Class (name withheld, but reported to US already) was probably the most friendly and service-oriented FA I have experienced on…
Today’s First World Problem: Service During Delays
I’ve become very accustomed to Delta’s service, especially first class service and I’m up to 45 segments on them with only 21 on US Airways so far this year. Today was my first major delay in US Airways first (and it was mechanical, not sequestration FAA related). We sat on the taxiway for 45 minutes…
