So not holding a LT membership I asked my ex business partner who does to get his take on all of this. While he wasn't happy about it but he said he is still pretty hooked to UA for his travel needs and only was rarely using when flying other carriers. Also as his hub is SFO he said it is VERY inconvenient to use the UCs there when flying really anything but UA. As a life long UC member myself (not LT) I use the UC only rarely as well. I was using the PHX club occasionally when I had a delay with other carriers often WN. But I agree it is still a further eroding of already minimal benefits.
