So if I were to split my 3 person PNR to 1 (UA Gold) + 2 (no status) in hopes of a better UG chance is it still true that the +2 lose my elite benefits as listed in the Wiki?

We can't all go as single PNR's because my son is only 5yo, so it's either me alone or him w/ me.

"Why might splitting be bad?
If your companions are not elite, they will no longer qualify for the elite benefits they inherited from you. That means no free baggage, no Economy Plus seating access (although they won't be booted out of E+ if they're already seated in it, barring irregular operations), no Premier Access..."

Any recent confirmation of this would be of great help!
