It could also be the plan for them to only be Priority Pass lounges while they build up a critical mass of lounges and CSR cardholders to support the network, so they don't need to have the first lounges be a loss leader. This would be similar to C1 having their lounges as contract lounges for various airlines (since they obviously don't have enough cardholders to support the lounge by themselves).
