I'm looking to do some MR's on Saturdays next year and LAX-JFK-LAX is one of a couple routes that have caught my eye and it's always nicer to ride up front if you can.

You're not going to be riding up front much if counting on medallion upgrades as method for upgrade. For most part JFK-LAX/SFO sells out or people use a G/RUC.
