This thread is music to my ears. I am so tired of the MRs being concentrated on the US coasts or other UA competitors' hubs. ORD seems to be a MR wasteland (I've found a few out of MKE and MSN). Trying to secure a positioning flight defeats the purpose of the MR in most cases. I have subscribed to this thread so I can receive updates.
I wish we could get in on the UA:ATL-SMF/SJC/SNA MRs starting~$157ai (or any of the variations) without compromising the MR return.
Thanks for setting up this thread!
