If they follow in the footsteps of Delta that would also be an interesting move. Delta has a deal with AMEX, where there platinum card members have access to Delta lounges, but only when flying on a Delta flight.
As someone who does not have status but has an Amex Platinum with Priority Pass I would that they invite Priority Pass members into the lounge. Realistically I don't think it will happen though. I don't think they will see the benefit of it initially. They will try to keep the product exclusive to try to sell more premium seats. Maybe after some period of time when the new-ness has worn off and they look at driving more revenue through the lounge they will bring in Priority Pass or offer lounge passes to lesser fare passengers.
