also, my PA informed me last week that they are restructuring the process so they may wait until everything is done/final before onboarding new members.

I'll admit that my ego is a little bruised, but after further thought I'm not sure I need the PA as much as others.

All my longhaul travel on LH/LX, where there is an F cabin, is in F. The result is that with repeated trips to LAX/SFO 7/8 times a year, HON is achievable without having a heart attack, depending on the cadence of travel.

The other result is that I don't travel nearly as much as my peers in HON, so PA support is probably wasted on me.

The personal contact to a PA was part of the CS pledge: Spohr: My HON Circle Service Pledge

If you have access to F service line, that's probably as good CS as any you can get...

The Swiss Core Care and LH Germany HON Line have been more than sufficient for my needs. I call the F service line only when I have an F ticket and the request is with respect to that ticket. I've been told that I can use the line for self-defined emergencies, but that seems like a really arbitrary distinction (i.e., if I had an emergency I had to get to, and LH ticketing wasn't working, I'd just buy a ticket in coach or business or first on expedia or on another airline). Luckily I haven't yet had an emergency requiring me to fly LH/LX F to my destination.

Same here & those changes mean they won’t look at ticketing or bookings, only other issues, so HON line & First Class hotline it is

Correct, the First Class hotline has a higher level of authority than the HON line.

Both of those... about 3 Asia trips this year, 2 or 3 last year, and then a bunch of US-EU-US sprinkled into the mix.
