You need to figure out what the US R fare maps to on UA metal. That will drive the earning rates.

R or RN.

I notice the script no longer works. I tried adding the new link structure for new web site, but it still does not seem to trigger correctly. Any plans to update the script?
I updated the script to v6.1 yesterday. If it didn't auto-update for you then uninstall it and grab a fresh copy here: http://boardingarea.com/blogs/thewan...he-new-united/.

Yes, assuming you didn't buy it as a direct flight. A 3-cabin domestic plane should confirm into C; it is a one-cabin upgrade.
