As a person who has flown for a competitor of USAir most of my career, I can say that I really, really hope USAir makes it. I hate to see my fellow aviation employees going through a liquidation. And as to the hope of a purchase like the AA purchase of TWA - that would be a fate worse than death itself. I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemies.
I sure hope the good people at USAir can hang in there. And shame on those sick people who would speculate on another person's loss of career/livelyhood.
