At those prices, time permitting, it might be better two do two cheap EQM runs rather than one EQP run [eta: although even there with 4k EQM needed vs 12k EQM, you're better off using those to get EQP since on domestic flights you'll always get at least 0.5 EQP per EQM.] I'd really hope to be able to get that for 10-12c/eqp or closer to $400-$480 total. You may be hitting some hub penalty from PHX -- is there anything better if you drive somewhere else? (LAS? Tucson? LAX?)
