This should currently edge US Airways in front of United as the biggest U.S. operator of Airbus equipment. At my last count, United operated 107. US will take delivery of 13 more A321 by July.

Thanks for the breakdown!
I know US Airways has a new Airbus delivered about once a week for months now. I also heard they are the first to get two or (was it three?) new planes in a span of only one week.

I knew that US Airways must have a lot of Airbuses because they've finally shown up at my hometown, Rochester NY. ROC usually doesn't get any new good planes from Oligopoly-Big 6 carriers. US A319s and A320s are regular visitors at ROC now. JetBlue's arrival last summer may have something to do with it too.

Way to go US Airways!
The first US airline to operate the A319, 320, 321, and 330. The US' largest A321 and A330 fleet. I think they also have the most A319s.
Who need United, US Airways will be able to make it on its own.
