(If I want to fork over $450+ in each direction, it will gladly allow me to complete that purchase. )

Has anybody else successfully applied RPU's or GPU's in the past 3 days? Ordinarily I would just call, but with the weather waiver and impending Nor'Easter, I would prefer not to exhaust phone resources for a trip in June. On the other hand, the sooner I waitlist, the sooner I can delude myself into thinking that if R availability opens up, my RPU's will clear.
I applied several over the weekend. You are 1K so you should have minimal wait as I did. Of course none of the flights I applied them to had R space but I tend to think as you do in that I as well "delude myself into thinking that if R availability opens up my RPU will clear".
