Had no problem entering KLM [MENTION=774097]IAH[/MENTION] last year, however it was so mediocre that I would not care to return. YMMV.

The reality has been, due to the overly generous guest policy of the CSR PP, domestic PP lounges have become exceedingly difficult to use. I just hope PP continue to expand its partnership with the airport eateries for a mutually benefit set up that is win win win for all 3 parties - PP, eateries, and the cardholders.
Not sure what level of math and science you completed but theories require proof in order to be accepted as valid. Your theory has no demonstrated causal connection. I have been using PP for many years and see no difference in terms of accessibility, with the exception of the aforementioned AS lounges which were impacted by the additional of VX flyers. If you have historical perspective, you would know that the bigger problem is the removal of UA, CO, US and DL lounges - many of which were part of the PP program as recently as a decade ago. PP footprint in the USA massively shrank over that decade and is only recently starting to add new lounges,
