I've no problem with this, and its good that they are looking after their own members.

But has it been noticeably better or worse for 'foreign' *Gs on UA recently? If it's unchanged I may stick with AC, although I've heard good enough things about TATL that I would like to find a good reason to try it .
unchanged is probably the most accurate summary -- limited to standard *G benefits (but occansionally a goodwill act). If you looking for a free E+ access, that is unlikley.
