The UA manager at LAS has no say at all whether or not UA uses all TED or mainline. To bombard that person will do no good at all.

The fact is that the policy has changed over the last several months several times. For awhile, 1Ks and UGS could get the stamps, then they couldn't, then they could and now they can't. This is because McCarran management has changed their minds several times. Randall Walker is the person to contact to get the priority line to allow elites from UA...

I would also suggest contacting UA Customer Relations to get mainline flights back. I have contacted both.

I guess that I have just lucked out, but the lines have not been bad for awhile at the times I have flown. I fly out on Sunday nights or Monday mornings. I have not waited more that 10 minutes. The real test will be on Tuesday morning after this Labor Day holiday. I plan to arrive a bit early...
