Schedule changes have mucked up pretty much all of my same-day LGA-IAH-PDX-IAH-LGA runs. I'm really trying to avoid redeyes, and I really don't want to fly one direction via ORD. It's a 769 EQM difference, which is substantial, and multiplied by all the runs that have been mucked up, it would force me to do another MR, which may cause Ms. as219 to kill me.
I was able to route two of these runs via SFO on the return, which means p.s. on the way back with a minimal loss of EQM, but this doesn't work on weekends, only weekdays, and it doesn't work for my November runs.
Argh!
Is anyone else running into these problems?

Yes, that happened to me too with the reduction in PDX-IAH flights. I was able to convince an agent a while back to route them IAH-SEA-IAH, which worked well for the time of day that I was doing the immediate turn. YMMV on getting them to make such a change...I was pretty surprised when the agent said yes.
