Is US Air a good air line

I am flying U S Air soon. Is it a decent line?

I 'spose by /decent/, you mean, is it a safe, reliable, on-time and
reasonably pleasant flying experience. Some here will say that
no airline provides that today, but I'd say that U.S. Airways is no
better or worse than any other "legacy" airline, such as American,
Delta, United, Northwest, etc.

In reality, it is the airline formerly known as America West, which
bought it 2005. AW continued it operations under the U.S.
Airways label. "U.S. Airways" has approx. 3,860 flights a day to
241 destinations, with hubs in Phoenix, Philadelphia, Charlotte,
and Las Vegas. (From Wikipedia)

Depends on the route.

The Consumerist reported recently that it's the most complained-about
airline in the US.

I thought they were OK until I read the following:

report of hidden $5.00 booking fee on airline's website

Cast your net wide enuff, and you'll find the low fare for any
particular flight, whether it be on the airline's website or not.
Sorry, but this hidden-fee issue is not going to keep me from
booking U.S. Airways or any other airline, if it has flights that
meet my needs and the lowest fares, this issue notwithstanding.

Yes all that matters is the total price I pay - I couldn't care less how
it's split between "base fare" and "taxes and charges" and neither does my
bank account.

I fly PHL to FCO regularly on US Airways flight 4. It's been snafu-
free every time.

True, but don't you find it the least bit deceptive that this booking fee
was added UNANNOUNCED and it's even UNDOCUMENTED on its website?
