As one who flew in the US much more than in Canada, I can't count the number of times I have been asked to leave the RCC, or NW's club because it is closing even though my flight departure is still way off. The club's are a business, not a right. For the sake of a few inconvenienced passengers, they should be closed.

Is that why you now are a member of AA? They have their problems now - one more now that you are a COMP'd member of their program
