I am also a few segments sort of 1P for the year. I will get it by flying a trip or two on US JAX-CLT-IAD rather than my normal UAX JAX-IAD. I am pushing for it with the hope I will be treated better. Especially when things go wrong.
Also, I have noticed 2Ps never get op-ups on UAX. A full rear cabin can push 1Ks and then 1Ps up to one of the 6 CRJ F seats. But that only happens when F is not full of deadheading crew
