I think this is right. Even though I'm trying to get to 1MM, when I'm actually on a trip, my number one priority is either 1. get to my destination ASAP, or 2. get home ASAP. I doubt more than a handful of people a day do SDC for extra PQMs.

I think UA would be justified to limited SDC routing options to any valid routing in any published fare basis (including full-Y) between the city pairs in question. I much rather see illogical SDC routing options go away, than SDC itself be limited or curtailed somehow.
