- And PMUA 1MM lifetime status (PremExec) was downgraded in the pecking order (previously GS/1K, then 1P, Now GS/1K, then Plat and finally Gold) and the mileage earning rate was reduced from 100% to 50%. While this was done to the general Gold level in the annual MP program, it was also done retroactively to those that had achieved MM status. {IMO, this was the most significant downgrade}

- And the loss of Lifetime RCC/UC memberships for 2MM. UA did at least not revoke existing lifetime memberships, but removed it as a future reward. That in my mind puts it in the quasi zone like the threashold SWUs.

The gain for all was the companion benefit (assuming you have a companion that can make use of the benefit). Additionally due to the "adjustment process some PMUA members received a bonus adjustment of their lifetime mileage. And finally PMCO MM received higher status level than they had previously received.

So, it is more than just the RPUs. The RPUs may just be the most clear cut issue.

For the PMUA folks -- a fair resolution would be the choice of the 2 RPU or companion match and the partial restoration of PMUA 1MM status with the awarding of Lifetime Plat status.
