It is a big SHORT-SITED view by UA.

I am extremely disappointed.. and will continue to voice my complaints.
AMEN MY HP BROTHER:

Like I have said on the other 2 major threads about this...this so-called "Star Alliance", which was started by UA in '97 I might add, is now to be referred to as the "Psudeo-Star Allaince" (or P-*A for short). I strongly believe that this has to do with us "unwelcome" HP elites that have been grandfathered in to this P-*A. If UA is worried about the E+ cabins being too full...why dont they take some and see that some of the time there are entire rows of E+ un filled at times..and most of the time the middle seat in an E+ cabin is rarely filled as well.

Not to mention at SFO on Thurday evening I was going to checkin at, what used to be where P-*A elites checked in with Premiers...now even us P-*A elites dont have priority check-in anymore. So whats left? A cute orange bag tag and a trip to the Club lounge...is that why I am striving to get to gold? If I get this transfer to denver...will UA status match me...should I pick another carrier?

HERES A BIG to UA and thier P-*A
