Don't worry, when I use the NH lounge, I'll make sure I wear an ascot along with a captain's cap at an appropriately jaunty angle.
It does seem that the bankers holding ANA's not insignificant interest bearing debts are getting more influence on operational decisions these days. We all know what that means, more revenue less costs. So PP access is probably here to stay....
