I have booked LH, NH, AI (yech), TG and ET for 80k miles in J. (Normally 88k, but my SO has a UA card). Peak times are horrible, but outside of that, found some decent options.

True. But IME, there is a difference between Parker and Kirby. Parker was riding high in a bull market along with everyone (and still underperforming everyone else), while Kirby has taken UA from a bigger dumpster fire than AA to a respectable operation.
