3. Everyone at UA is denying this
On 1, at Sydney last week I noted that the GS line has been eliminated. In its place was a sign saying "Polaris/1K" and below that the "new" GS globe. I waited longer than I ever have on prior trips with several people ahead of me. Same thing at SAN as well.
On 3, when boarding at SFO last week to EWR, there was no GS. Agent did Families, Military, then straight to Group 1.
