As I said i am more than happy to see a OWL ( One World Lounge) brand adopted for outstations where 1, several or all OW Carriers lack a decent lounge my fear was in the articles assertion of 'prime carriers' shaking off lounges in favour of a Brand Z catch all version.
While I can see no long-term sense ( I see plenty of shortsightedness views in the approach! ) in the CCR / PIERS of the world being killed of in favour I also can't see any rational for a OWL programme if it is to be run alongside. It would only add to costs not reduce them so wouldn't be something that would/ should reach public discussion at such an event. - That's my thinking on it but i've been working overnight am I misreading here( open question)
