... I have the impression from the nonrevs I know that this is explicitly forbidden on DL, i.e. you cannot list for a flight that you previously held a revenue ticket (which makes a ton of sense, for the same reason they don't want revenue pax to "hold" upgrade space by booking award tickets and cancelling at the last minute) -- is that also the case on UA?
