Starting in 2016, Alaska Airlines Boardroom members lose Sky Club access
It's been reported in the AS forum that AS has announced that the current arrangement for AS BR members to use DL SCs will end on December 31, 2015. I'm not sure numerically whether this will affect SC crowding. [AS has arranged for their BR members to use UA lounges in two airports, including MSP, in addition to the current access to AA lounges.]
The obvious question is whether there's reciprocity here or whether there will be a retaliation soon? Specifically, will DL people lose the ability to use the AS BR lounges in four airports, namely ANC (where's there's no alternative), SEA, PDX, and LAX (where the tunnel makes it easy for DL passengers to use the AS BR in T6, and of course it's especially convenient before T6 departures)? BTW, the AS BR lounges seem to belong to PP, so those with AmEx regular Plat/Centurion cards can continue to use them, at least for now. [Also BTW, when did the SFO BR close?]
