OK, BlondeBomber you have it pretty good with no capacity controls! That is unusual even for the top statuses in most of the US airline FF programs. And it does present a very different situation when attempting to value miles. Maybe some of the other FFs can comment on their experience in claiming short notice awards on the US domestic carriers, with and without status.
