US airlines are hit or miss.

Again perhaps not the best airline in the world, but I think Lufthansa on the whole (and on average) absolutely compares favorably to United on the whole.
I'll agree the lounges are light years ahead, but as a *G I can access them anyway, so there's no advantage to my actually flying the airline unless it's in F. If I'm in Y I'd take UA's superior IFE and E+ over LH's somewhat better food. The meal takes 20 minutes to eat, the IFE and seat are flight-long.
