My review of US Air is based on my trips after the merger with American. I thought US Air was pretty decent before the merger, now they are getting ridiculous, for example they will find ways to charge for just about everything from a little excess weight on a luggage to selling seats at the gate. On a recent trip and while waiting for my flight from Charlotte to FLL, the US Air employee assigned to my gate announced multiple times that for an additional $120 there are two seats available on first class, I really thought this was tacky, why couldn't they upgrade someone from coach to first class for free. Secondly, the food choices in first class have been reduced to a mere chips and drinks and that's about it. Lastly, by April of 2014, they are somehow downgrading those that have preferred status such as myself, one customer service person told me, you can always buy up! Really US Air!
