In late October of last year we found out the future of American AAdvantage and US Airways Dividend Miles. The news was overwhelmingly positive, given all the negative changes we've seen from other airlines lately.
Perhaps the most interesting detail to members is that US Airways Dividend Miles will be merged into American AAdvantage sometime in the second quarter of 2015. While we don't have an exact date yet, this is when status between the two airlines will be fully reciprocal, when mileage totals will be combined, etc.
2015-AAdvantage
With that in mind, I've received a ton of questions as to what happens to US Airways Dividend Miles awards when the program ceases to exist.
It was just last year when US Airways transitioned from Star Alliance to oneworld, and that presented a challenge for award tickets. Basically, previously issued Star Alliance award tickets couldn't be changed to include oneworld segments. Instead you had to redeposit them entirely and rebook if you wanted any segments on oneworld.

La Compagnie is the French airline which launched flights around the middle of last year, offering all business class flights between Newark and Paris. Their launch was a bit hectic to say the least, though I also give them credit for staying true to their mission up until this point -- they're truly offering a (not so great) business class product basically at economy class prices.
So while my review of them wasn't stellar in comparison to other business class products, I think they add a hell of a lot of value to the market. For the fares they're charging, there's simply no other airline that can compete with them. For example, right now they're offering sub-$1,400 roundtrip business class fares between Newark and Paris.
Originally I gave them a few months at most, though I wasn't factoring in fuel prices. It goes without saying that they can survive as long as the economy is doing well and fuel prices are where they are (when either of those factors change, though...).
