Well UA has it now & BG1 is probably the perk I value most from Platinum status. I fly over 100K PQM each year, but will never meet the PQD needed for 1K I am fortunate to get the credit card waiver and forgo some other more lucrative credit cards rewards program for my first 25K of credit spending each year.. So there is a "cost" associated with that loyalty.
Sorry if us lowly Plats are soiling the BG1 lines for a GS. Come to think of it, I never understand why a GS would complain about the size of any boarding line. They should wait "upfront" to the side and board when GS is called. Basically a GS doesn't have to wait in line due to their status!!!
