A few days ago I filed a complaint with the US DOT which prodded US Airways into granting me further information which I just received. US Airways essentially told me what you said above, so I now have a further path for potential progress. It appears that

• CheapOAir gave me a $100 refund then said I must contact US Airways for further redress
• US Airways sent $400 ($200 per ticket) to CheapOAir in response to my request
• CheapOAir is sitting on that $400

Further investigation will tell and I'll post the result.
Thanks for your input.
