I'm no fan of US Air myself, but ...
When you say he "got to the airport an hour early," do you mean "arrived at the building" or "got to his gate"? Because no airline starts boarding an hour before departure, so if he was actually at his gate that early, he wouldn't have been denied boarding.
If he just arrived at that airport that early, well, almost all airport and airline websites have been advising passengers to arrive TWO hours early - since Sept. 11, 2001, so it's not exactly new news. It can take a loooooong time to get through the counter line and security these days.
That said, I wouldn't advise flying any airline in bankruptcy ... they got there for a reason.
