I would disagree. UA has quite a few ORD-West coast fares at $158 which allow you to bounce around the west coast.

ORD-SAN-LAX-SFO-SEA and return is 6802 miles, $158 fare after taxes is about $190ish. About 2.8 cents per mile...

I do agree however that it does depend on the airline you fly and where you originate. PHX is probably a very good origin city while a city like BOS may be more difficult. UA, CO are good for domestic runs while AA and DL may not be so great.
