That's why they push it really hard on mainline USAir flights (especially the West coast operation, planes and uniforms still bearing the America West branding) and not so hard on the shortline routes that are actually being serviced by another airline like Republic or PSA. And if you think the USAir credit card routine is annoying, try calling United Customer Service for anything. You could just be changing your seat assignment and they'll give you a 10-minute speech to sell you a rental car or hotel room.
