		<description>Well Charles it&#039;s to little to late for many.

I just took a vacation and used some of my miles. I will not disclose the destinations as US Airways Coporate monitors these types of sites.

US Airways does NOT honor it&#039;s basic committments to it&#039;s customers. They display all of the &quot;Benefits&quot; of the Dividend Miles program yet almost NEVER delivers them.

While it may be no big deal to some, US touts &quot;Complimentary pre-departure beverage serivce&quot;  which over the course of the year has happened less than 40% of the time.

Let&#039;s move on to having Flight Attendents telling customers to e-mail the VP of InFlight if they&#039;re unhappy. This is a new regular occurrence.

Let&#039;s now move to COO Robert Isom&#039;s public comments regarding schedule padding to improve on time numbers?

Could it be that all of those great statsare the result of &quot;Managing The Numbers&quot; and not the airline?

Of all the stuff DOT measures, consumer complaints is the only stat that is compiled from comments made by customers.

Doesn&#039;t the fact that the one category that US can&#039;t manipulate is the one they fail at surprise anyone else???


 



If this is Customer Service I don&#039;t need it. I&#039;ve been treated better by my ex-wife</description>
