Another Annoying Minor Devaluation at United

As revealed on Flyertalk, United Mileage Plus members booking business class transatlantic or transpacific award flights can only be booked in coach on Singapore connecting segments.
    S*MPI/STAR-AWARD RULES.R:

    **NOTE: X/I/O IS NOT OFFERED ON ALL ROUTES.
    FOR SQ BUSINESS CLASS AWARDS WITH CONNECTIONS/STOPOVERS
    TO/FROM A TRANSOCEANIC FLIGHT BOOK *I* CLASS FOR TRANSOCEANIC
    FLIGHT ACROSS THE ATLANTIC/PACIFIC AND *X* FOR ONWARD FLT
    EXAMPLE - SQ BUSINESS CLASS AWARD LAXDPS
    BOOK *I* LAX-SIN AND *X* SIN-DPS
    SQ AWARDS THAT DO NOT INVOLVE A TRANSOCEANIC
    SECTOR USE *I* FOR ALL SECTORS INCLUDING 2 CABIN AIRCRAFT

Lesson is that if you fly Singapore on a business award you'll want your onward connection on another Star carrier in order to remain in business.
