AS and AA can certainly extend the reciprocality to VX flights at any time, especially if they hear it's important to their paying customers (either of flights or lounge membership). For that matter AS could extend access to Admirals Club members on VX flights without AA agreement if AS wished to forgo the per visit revenue or settlement that they may have in place.

It's important for me to get free ponies and ice cream every time I fly AS. It would be a factor in my flying them. I'll be sure to let Alaska Listens know...

Get enough of your fellow equine enthusiasts to write in and who knows, maybe you'll get your fondest wishes. AS & AA won't know (or care) if you never tell them.

(P.s. Hold out for 500 mile minimums for horse rides of any length. )

Because lounge access is a reciprocal agreement between two parties, not a policy by one.
