If one of those *A carriers was to open their own lounge there, then UA *G customers would have access for all flights.
and that’s the difference between a contract lounge and *G lounge. Any *G can use a lounge branded a *G lounge, which are typciallly the business loungnges of a * carrier, while only those contracted to use a contract lounge can use it. Hence the inability of UA pax to use the club at SJC (unless said UA passenger has priority pass or another membership they accept).
