Do you know how US Air got its name?

Their previous name (Agony) was of concern to the
top management, so they ordered a public opinion survey for
people to rate airlanes.  The results showed that US Air was more 
favored than Alleghenny [sic].  Since US Air was a fictitious
airlane in that survey they decided to change Agony to
US Scare...
This is a true story, unless someone proves the contrary.
