FlyerTalk member cherylsiscon recounts how she was Removed from US Airways flt last night simply by ignoring a cheerful greeting by a “very bubbly” flight attendant because she was tired and just wanted to get to her seat.

This action apparently led to her and her carry-on bag being involuntarily removed from the flight because the flight attendant “felt uncomfortable” having an “unresponsive” passenger on the flight.

Because in one night she saw two passengers being removed from an oversold flight out of Minneapolis/St. Paul and then she is removed for the same reason on an oversold flight out of Phoenix, cherylsiscon wonders if this is a new approach by US Airways to attaining seats…

If you prefer to use the Internet to take advantage of offers and promotions, you are not going to like this one where you can earn 500 free Dividend Miles for not requesting a life insurance quote, because you must request your 500 US Airways Dividend Miles the old-fashioned way: via postcard, which will cost all of 28¢ plus the postcard itself and the ink or lead used to write on the postcard. The 500 US Airways Dividend Miles are expected to be added to your Dividend Miles account within six to eight weeks.

Rather, is it worth it to request the free life insurance quote electronically for those same 500 US Airways Dividend Miles, as it is purportedly less expensive and quicker, as the 500 US Airways Dividend Miles are expected to be added to your Dividend Miles account within four to six weeks? You decide if you intend to take advantage of this offer, but do it before the offer expires on August 31, 2010.

A decision by a passenger allegedly attempting to transport spoiled meat aboard a short US Airways flight from Atlanta to Charlotte resulted in the proliferation of Maggots in PAX baggage in overhead bin, forcing the pilots to return the aircraft to Atlanta.

Anyone who has taken the short flight knows that the aircraft starts its descent into Charlotte not long after it reaches its cruising altitude from Atlanta, so for the flight to divert back to Atlanta would have taken just as much time − if not more time − than merely continuing on to Charlotte and completing the flight.

Video is available for those who are not squeamish about watching a maggot crawling on a seat…
