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.
If they do note, pressure needs to be placed on AMEX to get a new lounge in YYC. Especially given there is the space in A that the current lounge uses as well as likely a vacant old CP lounge area at B. However given AMEX has made zero progress in getting a montreal lounge contract in place, perhaps that will not happen.

Anyone know what the plan for the old WS lounge is?
