Sell 55 a day, and that's an extra $1 million a year (and with 43 individual lounges, they'd only need to sell 1-2 a day per airport to reach that goal). Although a lot of us here won't be interested because we have memberships, I see the potential of selling these and making almost 100% profit. If anything, it might help hold our renewal costs down some.
