Oh well.
No need to switch programs entirely. For example, say you booked six flights on LH...you could credit three to UA and three to LH, and you can switch them however you want/need.
Once you hit 1P you *should* receive your UA card that reflects your *G status, which you can then use to access the *A lounges when flying internationally, regardless of which program you are crediting that particular flight's miles to. Does that make sense?
Many folks in the ranks here hold status with multiple programs, so there's no issue with going for that yourself.
