Your RDM earn on a segment run would offset some of whatever you spent to position yourself.
Or piece together your last cheap segment run to end in PHX (Or somewhere more easterly) for easier return home.

Not to mention, your positioning flights (via cash or miles) would count as segments as well, lessening your overall segment need.
