I say do away with pre-boarding for military. If UA wants to make a gesture to the military (or other professions), offer premier access to military people for free or at a discount. If UA wants to give them club access, then offer the a club membership. Going back to the original topic, doing this would allow them to stay under the radar and now have to wear their uniform.
I am retired military, and agree with the above. When I was Active Duty, I would have much preferred a discount UC club membership over preboarding.
I understand the urge to do nice things for people in uniform, but something more tangible would be much more appreciated. And it would help unsnarl UA’s messed up boarding process.
