What’s the lowest domestic first/economy fare ratio you’ve seen?
Exhibit A = $34: ORD-MSN L fare 7/6; 7/8 return P fare $354 - $320 L fare = $34 differential to book in First on the return on UA1531.

It’s a one hour flight on an A320. If you post an example, try and express fare differential in terms of flight time.

A comment on inventory management: Fare buckets are J8 JN8 C8 D8 Z8 ZN8 P8 PN3 PZ0 - implication is UA would like to sell at least five of the remaining eight First seats for $34 and upgrade no more than three GS - and preferably no 1K/Plat/Gold/Silver. I couldn’t even get an RPU to clear on this right now! So my RPU isn’t even worth $34?
