United Premier Tour for Elites

All, I did a search and could not find anything, has anyone ever attended a "United Premier Tour". I received an invite for an invite at my local airport this coming weekend.

Here is the email

Good morning!
I’m excited for our Premier Tour this Saturday!
Please meet us at the United ticket counter at 7:00am.
Park where ever you’d like short or long term – sorry we don’t validate.
Just a couple of things:
Oh, did I tell you we’re planning on putting you to work?
Wear comfortable clothing – jeans are fine
Please have closed toe shoes – tennis shoes would be great
If you use a purse, please leave it at home if possible. You’ll need ID though.
Bring a camera if you’d like – we’ll be taking pictures as well and will share them with you
We’ll be breaking up into small groups for the tour. Depending on your groups rotation, you may have the opportunity to:
Climb up into the cargo hold
Scan and load bags
Ride in a tug or pushback tractor
Make gate announcements and board customers
Drive a passenger loading bridge
Wing walk a plane out on the tarmac
We’ll have refreshments after the tour, so hope you can stay a bit to chat.
Please let me know if you have any other questions. See you soon!

It seems interesting, although kind of funny at the same time. I spent about $55k on airfare last year and now United is going to get 2 hours of free work out of me Has anyone ever attended one of these?
