US AIR was bought out by America West and they have never taken dogs. Try Frontier or American Airlines......possibly even Canada Air. That's pretty much it out here I think......maybe Continental. This is what we're facing with the Nationals......those airlines have to go to their own main hub FIRST before they go ANYWHERE....then a connecting flight which is usually a smaller aircraft. For American you would have to go to Dallas/Ft. Worth first; Continental to Houston first....Delta to maybe Denver or Atlanta first, and United to Denver or Chicago first. I think Frontier uses American Airlines a lot and Alaskan and possibly Frontier go to Minn. St. Paul first. Basically NO DIRECT FLIGHTS unless it is to each airline's main hub. That used to be OK until they downsized to the smaller aircraft for one of the connecting flights.
