I think this is understood, but at the same time Alaska markets the BR as a product that also gives you access to 51 other partner lounges.

I can also understand that for some cities that do not have that much AS traffic, an inconvenient or no lounge is somewhat understandable. Chicago has the most traffic of any of Alaska's long hauls eastward, it's a popular business route and for BR members they should at least make some sort of effort to secure an acceptable lounge agreement.
