I could get quite excited about a weekend TATL MR in C/J/F though....

This is one of the key advantages of UA MRs out of NYC... I'm on a transcon run this weekend, upgraded p.s. flights both ways. ^ Okay, it's not the same as TATL upfront, but (a) it's a lot cheaper and (b) I'm there and back in one day.
