This is not just about losing the E+ benefit although that really sucks it also means that *G won't get ANY preferred seating selection at all. When travelling UA I find that I'm usually connecting and getting a seat forward in the economy cabin was very important - this is also gone. *G FF's are now treated the same as joe smoe travelling on the one trip in ten years. I for one won't be flying UA and sitting by the washroom at the back....bye bye United.....
