I'm pretty sure that they did....problem is, it's still an ongoing issue with other commuters.

Her benefits on US should be taken away too.
yeah, HP/US has certainly become the worst airline in the last 2 years . .gee, I wonder why?
<_<
Before 9-11 at America West we had a pretty damn good f/c product and coach! We use to serve a 4 course meal on domestic flights in f/c and two choice meal in coach. So get off your high horse please!
I miss the America West Airlines "Signature Service" in First Class. It was a lot of work, but it sure was good!
I found a menu from 2001 with the product America West served on a flight from Phoenix to Chicago O'Hare:
WINES
Penfolds Koonunga Hill Chardonnay 1998 (Australia)
The careful grape selection and precise blending of melon and tropical fruit flavors are balanced by a nutty oak influence.
Echelon Chardonnay 1997 (Central Coast)
Complex flavors of fruit combined with oak aging, create a long but subtle, intriguing finish.
Beringer Founders Estate Merlot 1997 (Napa)
Smooth, light plum and blach cherry aromas are supplemented by hints of vanilla and spice from oak barrel aging.
Sonoma Creek Merlot 1997 (Sonoma)
A bouquet of fresh, bright plum, raspberry and black cherry aromas leaves a hint of spice on a refreshing finish.
Beringer Founders Estate Cabernet 1996 (Napa)
Oak barrel aging softens the tannins and enhances rich red and blackberry flavors, adding subtle hints of toast.
Lindemans Cawarra Shiraz Cabernet 1998 (Australia)
The partnering of Shiraz and Cabernet produces a medium-bodied wine with generous fruit flavors and a lingering tannin finish.

This is minimal compared to US Airway's old Envoy service, but I'm glad that you're impressed with it. I have flown first class on AWA when I commuted from Hawaii, and I didn't think that the service was bad, but it could not be compared to the big boys. I wasn't expecting much anyway, so I wasn't disappointed. This makes me think of some of my neighbors who worked for Independence Air. When they were still in operation, every single one of their employees seemed to think that their airline was fabulous. I was like...are you serious? :blink: FlyI was a joke! I really enjoyed the 4-day liquidation sale though...I'm using one of the computers that I bought from their HQ for $35.00!
For a domestic flight that was under three hours, yeah, I guess you could say that I could easily be impressed.
My past experience working for American Airlines and with British Airways have shown me what true International First Class service is. Levels of service that US Air/Airways Envoy could never compare...not back then and certainly not now.

Maybe you don't remember that we actually wore British Air's uniform and worked the wet-lease international flights? We have actual working knowledge of both. Were you around then?
