The US Airways press release says 2 more, but that's wrong. They currently have off-peak awards, so that's not new. This just splits the rule-buster level into two different categories, medium and high. Personally I expect adjustment to the partner award chart (eg us to europe in business to go from 80k to 100k) but I'm still hopeful that little else changes there -- and that' show US Airways miles are most valuable to begin with.
