NOPE 


It would be a nice addition. Companion pass "lifetime" doesn't make sense but the A-list Lifetime would be a good gesture for those reaching 1M miles or some lofty number of years as A-list.

 

I take the counterpoint to @dfwskier if you wouldn't fly United any more without those perks, then the lifetime status does get them a few flights booked that they otherwise would miss out on.

I'm on board here.  Been A-List Preferred as long as it's been out there.  I don't think lifetime Companion Pass is realistic.  There is a cost there.  But making longtime A-List Preferred customers lifetime A-List Preferred costs Southwest nothing.  I was very loyal to Southwest and Marriott.  Marriott made me Platinum Elite for life.  Still waiting on Southwest.  I did run this idea up the flagpole with them when they were struggling and was told it would be discussed via an email.  Nothing yet.
