US Airways card is backed by Barclays.
Those 2 Citi cards mentioned are also World Elite Mastercards. Generally you need to spend A LOT, especially on the prestige, to make it worthwhile.
If you can spend a lot on it, the reward structure can much better than CSP and most cards out there.

Basically the Prestige is targetted towards HNW clients or people who can somehow swipe lots of charges on it.
AA bought out US Airways.

Well, it can be "OK" at least with a lot less spend. Unlike the Premier, the Prestige allows a once a year international companion ticket, and that alone can make up for the fee. As others have said, it also has the usual lounge/Global Entry perks, which people value at least in the case of the Amex Platinum. But yes, if you spend a lot, then the anniversary rewards become quite valuable, as that works on a sliding scale.
What I don't get is the OPs apparent surprise. Many issuers have high priced cards, which are worth it to some and not to others.
To make the record straight:
USAirways purchased AA. They will be keeping the AA name as it is globally recognized. All USAirways products, including the Barclay card, will go away once the merger is complete.
