Who knows when the BR contracts, I know wishful thinking but, honestly the lounge situation will prevent me from choosing to depart from SEA in the future. Will continue to use LAX as 1st priority, and then SFO as 2nd.
It's odd that BA doesn't list their lounge as open for oneworld purposes near the BR25/CX857 departure times

Of course if they did, they'd be effectively declaring themselves the CX lounge as elites and J pax will try to get in via oneworld access rules.
But how can they avoid being a oneworld lounge during the BR departure time? Install a removable oneworld sign at the door that they will remove during the BR departure time and replace the British Airways Club sign with "BA lounge" (then explain BA has nothing to do with British Airways)
