I expect to find a good use for all my remaining RUs.

My understanding is that if you actually cleared into RP on ATL-LAX in advance (say two weeks out) you could call back and have the RUC "extended" to include HSV-ATL as well. Can you or anyone else confirm that this is true? It seems like a solid strategy if so.
