EXACTLY my first thought. USAir is in such dire straights that it can no longer garner enough investment from the private sector. Folks, this is more than just positioning themselves with RAH. This is another lifeline from a business partner in an attempt to save USAir before it gets out of control.
I feel for AWAC and RAH pilots as both of your CEO's have invested your money in someone elses job upfront in order to save yours (Ok, his job) down the road. It may be out of total necessity but that's YOUR money and understand completely why you would be aggitated.
