FYI for Bay Area based people. If you're in the South Bay (or just SJC inclined), look into SJC-JAX. For $224a/i (minus a $50 e-cert), I was able to get 8 segs and 7K EQM. A couple legs are on the EMB-120, but since there's no backtracking, a single CR-1 (or 15K RDM) should do the trick.

My travel dates are 1/31-2/1, but there's tons of availability.

Boy, for once I'd love to take advantage on one of these great transcon deals but positioning costs from DEN blow the economics out of the water.

I believe you meant 15k RDM.

How do you use an ecert on an 8 segment run?

Book/hold and then web support. A great activity for when you're in the bathroom...

Hmm, $239 for 5K miles.

I've got 1/31 on hold right now:
UAL6 SFO-JFK
UAL863 JFK-SFO

Thanks Pat for finding this!
