Im not just thinking of my wife and son who have occasionally used one of my passes, but the teachers and clergymen I’m give one to use.

AS, please rethink this policy.
The AS Lounges have been going to great lengths to limit lounge access since the whole Priority Pass fiasco started a year or two ago....it's disappointing, but I suppose this is the logical next step into making their lounges more "exclusive"....hopefully it works out for them and the few people that still have access when the dust settles.
