A brief rundown of what membership in the Star Alliance could mean for US Airways -

For the flying public, a move towards Star Alliance on the part of US Airways will mean more options for accumulating/redeeming frequent flyer miles.
As well, passengers loyal to US Airways will have more destinations opened to them considering the more than dozen partner airlines of Star Alliance.
If joining Star Alliance occurs, business travelers will have access to even more airport lounges. Star Alliance promotes the idea of seamless travel - getting your boarding cards for connecting flights with any member airline, having your luggage checked through, and being able to take advantage of services that the other airlines may provide.
