No, that would be one-way, not round trip. UA is drastically devaluing their award miles right now. Note that the figures being cited are for business, although economy prices aren't really faring much better.

I don't follow AA as closely, and not that it's very significant, but for comparison I poked around and found some sporadic F redemption on JL for 80k.
