Thanks for the updates Aaron ^
A last minute domestic LH award. I would rather have Sen lounge access, free bags, two carry ons, etc., then deal with the nonsense of a typical European carrier where one has no status.

According to a hot M&M thread, yes:

UA and LH are becoming total party poopers. First they took away the ability to upgrade Z to F with a paper GPU. Then they added P class which had the fares formerly occupied by Z, and Z now has the fares formerly occupied by D. Now this.

GPUs and miles are becoming useless. The age of the Kayaker approaches.
