Note that UA customers traveling on INTL J fares are still welcome to board among the first on almost every connecting *A partner. Not sure how those partners will react to UA breaking the reciprocity. Time will tell.
You mean one of those *A carriers in Europe who don't even offer F or even J except for widebody aircraft? The bigger shock is for the guy who flies J ORD - FRA on either UA or LH and then gets connected to an A320 with only Y (with terrible seat pitch, I might add) and a blocked middle seat they pawn off as J for another three hour flight.
