Okay, kids, this is not entirely true. Okay, so Mileage Plus is a oneway program, granted (in only). That doesn't mean that Skywards necessarily is. Theoretically if he can find a hotel chain that partners with them he can transfer the miles there and then to United. Granted he'll lose a ton of miles, but it'll work. (Say NW->*wood->UAMP...100000 points would become about 20-30000).
