pmUA's MileagePlus as well as the current MileagePlus/pmCO OnePass system is on a mainframe.

You pay for cycles on mainframes and any query requires a bit of effort. Anything can be done and all the data is likely there (I don't know for certain). I just suspect United doesn't want to get into the business of data mining, especially since they probably still have to join the records between the legacy UA and legacy CO/EA systems.

There's really no business reason to give everyone access for everything in history so they don't provide it nor make it easy to get.
