United also ending Priority Check-in for *G / *S?
I'm not sure if this has been explicitly mentioned, but I seem to be picking up rumblings about this on other threads i.e. SFO no longer has *G check-in.
Has United definitely withdrawn this reciprocal *A benefit unilaterally, and across all airports that they operate out of?

For United to remove this they would have to get the other *A members to approve it (and they won't - for a start this is almost a zero cost service for UA to provide!).
