I made sure to book to San Juan on USAir, changing to American
Eagle for the last segment, on the advice of my real-life non-web-based
human travel agent, who reported that American Eagle is a separate
entity and is not participating in the sickout.

OTOH, USAir was full of American overflow last week, so if the
sickout starts up again, then I suppose elbow room will be the
biggest problem...  (Knock on wood.)
