Talked to LH these days: Almost everyone named HON in 2004 will keep its status. Only a very limited number of persons has been named HON during 2004 - 2006, so that there should be something like 3.000 + HONs around by now.
It was not a decision of LH that UA flights no longer count towards HON to restrict the number of HONs. It was rather a decision of UA because they simple couldnīt afford to pay for their share in the HON circle programm.
