Might as well just close the thread, there's going to be no improvement in CL crowding - zero, nada, zilch.
The goal is to encourage spending, not necessarily fix the overcrowding. Just like Delta said the Skyclub isn't WeWork. Amex is shifting towards the Platinum Card isn't a Centurion Lounge membership.
