I don't think UA MP won't offer many awards on LH metal this summer during high season. For LH metal, the OP will have substantially more options when using LH M&M or another *A FFP.
However, UA MP still offers decent availability on UA metal, so flying UA F should be a viable alternative if nothing shows up for LH.
