In the jigsaw puzzle of airline routes, American Airlines and US Airways are two pieces that fit together almost perfectly. Of the 50 busiest domestic routes, the two carriers compete directly on only one: Los Angeles to Phoenix, according to OAG, a company that tracks airline routes and schedules. And on hundreds of less traveled routes, they only overlap a dozen times, mostly between their hub cities.
