For people like myself who don't live on the West Coast, it's unrealistic to think that we'd ever buy an Alaska lounge membership. Yet. with lounge access, we're more likely to fly Alaska. You would think this would be a win-win relationship. If they're getting something like 20 bucks a head from PP, it's helping keep those lounges open and, presumably, profitable. Without PP, I would think a lot of their lounges would be pretty empty much of the time.
