Still, between UA preferring to put people on NH and SQ preferring to have people fly SQ metal TPAC, it's hard for me to see there being a huge market for UA codeshares on short-haul SQ flights (or for UA fares that allow the use of those same SQ flights; the codeshare isn't really necessary).
Just wanted to point out that even though UA isn't putting its code on SQ flights beyond SIN, the rules for some of the deep discount TPAC fares to some places covered by the ANA JV are allowing connecting through SIN on SQ and Jetstar (and I could've sworn I saw a third carrier, but can't remember/find it now, probably MI), combinable with the usual NH flights through NRT/HND.
