I realize that evening flights out of JFK on a Saturday are probably the least busy in term of business travelers... but there were plenty of people on the flight and plenty of people in the lounge when they booted us. And since the lounge closed at 5:00pm, by the time I got there about 4:15pm the soup was gone, the salad bar decimated, etc.

I don't think it's unreasonable to expect that when I'm flying AS out of an airport with an AS lounge, that I can use that lounge (late redeyes I get maybe not). Even keeping the lounge open just 1 more hour would at least allow folks on the SEA flight to stay until boarding started. 6:30PM would make it close enough for that LAX flight too.
