Or is this just a big /s post and I'm having a serious whoosh moment?

Yeah, just my lame attempt at sarcasm. But unless I’m missing something, I don’t see AA losing much sleep over passengers opting for the Chase lounge over the FL. I have to imagine that AA is not losing much (if any) passenger traffic at DFW even though there are “competing” lounges there, too.
