If I then apply a RPUs (I have plenty) for the LAX-EWR legs, will I be ahead of everybody (including GS) since I'm on a B/M? Or no, since that's not a CPU eligible flight? Would it then be all waitlisted GS, then 1Ks by fare?
All my options are pretty crappy at this point, so trying to figure out what my best, bad option is.
You will rank normally as a 1K with a B fare and RPU applied on LAX-EWR (between 1Ks on Y and M fares and below all GS).
And yeah, that's kind of cheesy faring. You can route lower business fares by adding a stop, and can route p.s. with discount economy (must be an inventory issue if it's pricing B/M). But not a nice problem to have..
