puzzling announcement on usairways flights

[tired_pilot]

I took a us airways (west) flight from san to clt last week. The FA made the usual speel, then added "we like to add a special welcome to former america west flight fund members" I didnt think anything of it since it was techinically still an HP flight.

Yesterday Im on a usairways express (psa flight) clt-chs and the FA made the SAME annoucement. Has anyone else heard this?

Just got me thinking, as crazy as the industry is they could sell one of the airlines and merge the other half with another airline. Bring back HP's name? I doubt it, it was just puzzling to hear them mention America west twice in one week.

One could only wish they'd dump US Airways and bring back America West. That'd rock!

Not to mention PSA, Allegheney, and Piedmont (all the originals not the express reincarnations)

Funny USAIR comment

In PHL the other day a USAIR flight was holding on the ramp and backing up inbound traffic.

Someone asked ramp, "are they holding out for a gate?" and the reply was, "No I think they are holding out for Date of Hire." Priceless.
