Oneworld policy to allow top elites traveling in economy to access first class lounges is nuts. LAX Bradley first and T4 flagship are packed to the rafters, with most of the boarding passes showing economy.

Stupid policy. Elite status should get you some lounge, but the best lounge. Star is far more sane. If oneworld insists on being more generous, surely one level of lounge above what your travel class entitles is sufficient for top elites.
