I'm still looking for the hilarity

Yeah, me too...
You're right about not being able to staple two PNRs together... what I meant to say was "get UA reservations to put Mrs. DCA Writer (with Mini DCA Writer) in E+ even though she's on a separate PNR." I know I've done that before, although it was a year or two back.
