I thought I was the only one that referred to them as "Useless Air". I flew out of Pittsburgh when it was a hub for them for 10 years in the 80s and 90s. At least once a week and sometimes twice. Security, before 9/11, knew me by sight and name and usually just waved me through. I can remember a lot of delays and many cancellations with ridiculous re-routes. Had to go from Pgh to Lexington, KY via Buffalo, back to Pgh, then to Louisville and then drive to Lexington arriving at 3am to my hotel all due to cancellations.
