US Airways jet diverted after landing gear glitch

DAYTON, Ohio (AP) -- A US Airways plane en route to Indianapolis has been diverted to an Ohio airport after the crew reported a problem with the landing gear.

didn't know that "US Airways" flew CRJs!

Well, technically, this was PSA, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of US Airways Group, Inc. So, this was a US Airways plane legally speaking.

And, even it if were one of the regionals contracted with US Airways, it would still be US Airways in the mind of the public because that is what it said on the side of the airplane. Even here in the home country of AA, I sometimes see or hear news references to an "American Airlines regional jet." American Airlines and American Eagle are totally separate subsidiaries of AMR Corporation, but the public still thinks of the whole shebang as American Airlines.

Oh, and since Dayton is the corporate and maintenance "home" of PSA Airlines/wholly owned subsidiary of US Airways, it made a lot of sense to put the plane down there. People in this country need a hobby besides scouring the internet for negative stories about the airlines when they are non-events.

The intent of the OP was a comment on the press, not PSA or US.
