The irony is that UA took away benefits from all elites and most MMers, but then added entitlements to the MM program that no pmco or pmua was asking for. E.g.
pmco 1MMers didn't ask for lifetime gold.
pmua 1MMers didn't ask for companion status.
And given that UA showered its members with life time miles on Dec 31, UA "over entitled" a vast number of members and their companions.

It was a mixed bag. Official written policy was that 1K/GS/F/J could board through the red lane at any time, but reports were that some GAs closed the lane once group 1 was called. I never experienced that though.
