How is this not obvious that these are code share flights when in every instance it clearly states that the flight is operated by US Airways. A quick look at all flights on United's website will show that code share flights are indicated by an indication of which airline is operating the flight. Scott Laird's comment above is certainly valid.

Edgar replies: Trust me, I was shocked when I got my email confirmation with a bold warning that some of my itinerary was operated by another airline. That was the first time I realized it was a code share flight.

When I first did the fare search for this trip, the screen had the line "Operated by US Airways" spread out over two lines. So what I saw said "Operated by US". I thought that was weird to have such an obvious statement that their flight with a United Airlines flight number was operated by "us". Who else would operate it, I thought.

Had I realized that UA was just reselling a US Air shuttle ticket, I would have purchased it directly from US Air.
