My PHL-DUB flight (on a decrepit 757 in what I can only assume was a domestic configuration) was delayed 5 horus and overbooked, forcing almost half the flight to be bumped to the next day's departure. The same thing had apparently happened on the previous day's flight, and although I don't think any of them were bumped, the airline informed that a second day's delay was a possibility. The service itself was horrible. There was ZERO in-flight entertainment (the VCR system was busted). I could go on (and have in previous comments). The return flight was also delayed 4 hours. They have some major work to do if this kind of service is the norm, especially considering Delta's resurgence. As I’ve written before, I had an awful experience with US’ international operation.

I know that on 9/5, they look like they remove one flight from the system. Athens ends for the summer on 10/6, so that doesn't help you much.

Should I be worried about anything? I've heard nothing but bad things regarding US Airways, but at $545 for return fare, I'm willing to compromise...
