I agree.
On one leg SFO-LAS with a BA flight number operated by HP, I got 60 BA tier points and 1,250 BA miles. On the return leg with an HP flight number, I got 1,500 VS miles and 1

VS tier point.
Add HP to the dreary lounge list. I've only used one at LAS and it's at least a refuge but otherwise dismal.
And OT, it's worth travelling F from LAS - the 'security' queues for Y have to be seen to be believed.
