The whole problem with STAR is some programs have three elite tiers, others just two. For those with just two, the first tier gets STAR Silver and second/top tier gets STAR Gold. At those with three tiers, the top two get STAR Gold. I would like to see a new top tier at STAR for top tier members of all their FF programs, but that is unlikely to occur. Too many of STAR's airlines no longer offer First Class, and others that do are trimming it back to major routes. This means too many riff raff who would have entry into the very few First Class STAR lounges, which are now kept exclusive by SQ and UA. [Does LH actually have such lounges? If these are the Senator ones, they are the most conjested and poorest in the STAR system.]
All in all, another reason why STAR sucks.</font>
IMHO the RCCs are much worse than the SEN lounges.
