3/25, 7 a.m. D Lounge - OPEN - But by the time I went upstairs and then walked back down I could see out the door that the sign is now out. Got in just under the wire. Lounge probably 3/4 full.
EDIT: Lounge cleared out and when I left at 7:30 am the sign had been brought back in.

I think it's far less than 50/50....the whole sign thing is total joke....leave it out the whole time and put us out of our misery already.

I still think AMEX would gladly work something out with them, possibly giving AS a higher revenue point than PP does, albeit with fewer total customers. BofA may even be agreeable to it, since BofA doesn't have a lounge-based card.
That might give them some of the cash they want without the headache of the PP volume, not to mention the workman's comp claims from placing and removing that sign every 5 minutes.

Holy cow!! Flight arrived at PDX a little early and no sign out (7:40am 3/26/17) and got in with PP just fine. A nice bite to eat before heading off for my day in Portland. Wonder how lucky I'll get tonight when heading back home.

After being fueled with everyone favorite pancakes upon leaving at 8am 3/26/17 the sign still wasn't out. Lounge probably only ~15% full.

When I was returning home last night I dropped by at about 9:15pm and the sign was out, didn't bother looking inside to see how busy it was... but boy were A gates a zoo >.<
Thankfully I only had about 20 minutes to wait before boarding

Basically the entire state of Oregon is on Spring Break this week so this past weekend (and today to a lessor extent) should be a zoo at PDX.

It looked like they put out the sign during the time when N was packed with departing flights. Sign went back in after those left.

Was at LAX this morning and last night.
Last night (March 26th around 8pm): The sign was out, HOWEVER, I asked if they would let me in with PP and she asked me if the sign was still out downstairs. She said that they forgot to bring it in and they let me in.
This morning (March 27th around 6:00am): No sign out and was let in.
