What concerns me is how difficult it is to find CURRENT contact info for USAirways. In addition, to find limited business hours for a 24 hour per day operation is not customer friendly. I will be carrying this info with me all of the time now.
ADDED: All complaints to the DOT are entered into the DOT's computer monitoring system and are charged to the company in question in the monthly Air Travel Consumer Report. This report is available to consumers and the news media.
 
An address should be in the back of the magazine and its printed on the little end of their boarding pass on the back or there is the US website.


The Attache magazine used to have tear out customer cards inside and if I'm not mistaken they were also postage paid. Tempe would never do that because they would have a flood of complaints daily.....too much to handle because there is too much to complain about!

I searched for this info like the average consumer would not like a savvy employee ;) . My passengers can't even find their seat number on the boarding pass or figure out what gate they are leaving from...
I tried USAirways.com, Googled it (many links for Deb Thompson came up).
Eliminate the hurdles the consumer has to go through and consequently diffuse some of their frustration.
During a res migration and weather events etc, customer relations (is "consumer affairs" gone?) should be available for faster response. There should be no busy signals nor referrals to a nonworking phone number etc.
The postcards were wonderful and worthwhile.

The DOT email address, I agree, is probably the most efficient way to make your point.
