Very true statement (coming from an iPass user)! And if you get in a United flight where it is supported, you have to click on the link to log into your gogo account, then the link that says iPass user? then you can log in, then get the capcha.. Kinda a pain. It is not seamless...
Additionally, Southwest is not supported either...

I decided to go ahead and try it for a small business that I have been deemed, "the IT guy"... My specific interest is if the USMobile/ iPass deal includes a VPN service when using open Wifi access points... Using iPass though my employer does not seem to support a VPN, but the iPass website claims it is a feature... Utilizing WiFi in the air would be a bonus assuming the service supports the airline and flights that are being used...

So, this seems to be useless for United flyers. 
Only PS is supported; the entire fleet of UX E70/E7W/CR7 planes is excluded, even though the connection is provided by Gogo. Bummer.
This comes from iPass support, which informed me that,
"For United Airlines we only have 15 planes and two regional jets. If the network name is "gogo_inflihgt" you will be able to connect.
If it is "United_WIFI"or something else, the plane is not supported by us."
But a great deal for AA and DL flyers.

My firm doesn't have the tightest security settings on their laptops, though.

We are flying with etihad from Melbourne to abu dhabi, abu dhabi to london, both on their a380's.
Any idea if the ipass will work on these flights?. On the website https://www.ipass.com/inflight-internet/
it says supplies 300+ (67 specific to etihad) planes but doesn't go into more detail

A380 service is provided by T-Mobile, which is the same as LH and AA (international), so in theory, this pass should work. However, I suggest you check with iPass support (https://www.ipass.com/support/) - there's a chat button that appears in the lower, right-hand corner after the page loads, and they're fairly responsive. Make sure to mention that you have service through US Mobile and will use the iPass app to connect.
Thanks so much for reaching out to iPass Technical Support. This is Michael and I shall help you with your concern today.
We only have all the list of the airlines and number of planes but we don't have the specific flight # or routes, to check all our supported airlines here: https://www.ipass.com/inflight-internet/
Also, if the SSID is "gogoinflight" then they are supported, if it is anything else is NOT currently supported by iPass.
So really I am no closer to knowing, a bit frustrating

Are there any more codes available for $6 per month? Is this something that you can eventually cancel?

To answer my own question, I was able to install it on a work laptop without administrator access. It downloaded and installed fine. I have a DL flight tomorrow and am looking forward to using it.
My firm doesn't have the tightest security settings on their laptops, though.

Bought 1 subscription for an iPad @ $6 with a discount code and another at the full price @ $10 for the laptop. The iPad is spotty and I have to reactivate it while connected to the internet weekly. Laptop seems to work fine. Mostly using it on AA.

Tried it out on a Panasonic-equipped AA international flight. Works, but glitchy as hell... it asked me to solve a captcha. It told me my answer was wrong and asked me to solve another one. When I solved that one, I got a different notification that told me I had already passed verification. Then it started trying to authenticate me. It never actually got to "Connected" - it just sat on "Connecting..." forever, but I was still able to browse.
Kind of a shame that you have to use their stupid client even on laptops. Most of these wifi providers have an iPass login button, but since you don't know your own iPass credentials, you can't use it. And installation of their client can be forbidden by strict security policy on some machines.
