Thanks everyone for all of your feedback! 
Fbgdavidson: What makes my plan to save myself aprox $1200 so convoluted????
And lastly, I need to reply to my own question: "Am I missing something?"
Yes, I was missing something - when I add up the miles I should have 95,000 - not 85,000!
20,000 UA + 10,000 CO + 10,000 AA + 20,000 UA + 20,000 DC + 15,000 BA = 95,000 miles!
I can't believe nobody saw this - that is a whopping 10,000 miles I was missing!!!</font>
Your entire plan has already failed then as it's not possible to even JOIN the EC without a full fare Y or J/F ticket...
As for the credit, YES, 6 cards over 10 months will NOT help your FICA score AT ALL.
