In so many words, no. But here's an example of some things that were said...

This guy is a fruitcake of the highest order.
Because he is an idiot.
brainwashed union thug
failure at life.
illiterate guy
being an idiot savant
You acted like a snob

Overwhelmingly, most replies advised he should chin up and demonstrate
accountability, while accepting responsibility. I hope he has heeded that
advice, and learned from his experience. But as I said before, $4800 is an
expensive lesson. With that $4800 extra now reduced to the cost of RT travel to
Jamaica X4(still a high price) I hope he's now absorbed all that advice, and
learned from that experience, at a more reasonable price.
My response was not all too favorable, yet I do not feel any resentment(nor the
taste of crow) with his ultimate success(if in the end, it can be considered
such).

Most were suggestions as to (1) avoid getting into such situations by checking
for documents sometime earlier than the midnight before a morning flight (2)
to go up the airline chain when not getting the desired results and (3) not to
panic and waste money as the first option.

I wonder what he got?

A voucher for the amount he spent on US Air, to be used during the next year?

Esteemed newsgroup:

I am pleased to announce that I was contacted today by US Airways and
offered a full refund, plus consideration, for the problems I
encountered en route to Jamaica.

The representative apologized specifically for the behavior of the
ticket agent at the airport, saying he could have been far more helpful
and should have offered me and my family some itinerary options instead
of simply turning us away.

To the newsgroup participants who either supported my position as a
customer, or challenged me fairly or with genuine humor, I thank you.

To the newsgroup royalty with encyclopedic knowledge on virtually every
subject known to man, who dismissed me as a fool: There are some great
recipes for crow over on rec.cooking.

you're still out for the OW fares you paid to AA .....

This guy is either (in rough order of probablity)

- brainwashed union thug who wants to blame US Airways for his own
failure at life.

Wrong. Self-employed. Upper tax bracket.

I rarely post here any more. But this thread and this comment just goes to
show you that even idiots can allegedly make money.

- cyber-squatter who registered usairways dot whatever and tried to
sell it to them on the threat of posting bad info about it. And was
turned down

Wrong. Bought usairways.tv domain last weekend. Looks like US Airways
went to sleep or couldn't afford to buy it from Network Solutions.

Well, why would US buy a .tv domain in the first place????

- illiterate guy who who is ****ed off at USAirways for his own
failures to read the directions.

If you think I'm illiterate, you haven't read my other posts. 100 to 1 I
went to a better college than you.

Hey, more power to ya if you were able to transfer from community college to
Del Mar college. You must be important.
