Contact your airline well in advance of your travel date to determine if they have unique policies or procedures for minors.
Typically, minors under the age of 18 do not have to present identification for domestic U.S. travel. Airlines will accept identification from the responsible adult on behalf of the minor(s).

I also searched US Air's website and could only find mention of unaccompanied minors ID requirements. American's website does state that the adult should have a copy of a birth certificate, but it doesn't say anything about it being required to fly.
Also, one final note, the proper place to have started this thread would have been in the US Air section. Keep check, the site administrator may change it over to the US Air forum.
