Which other airlines do this? I don't think that there are any in the US, but I may be wrong.
How have I not answered this?
My above post covers when AA offers AA customers AAdmirlas club lounge access, when UA offers UA customers Red Carpet lounge access, when US offers US customers lounge access to the US Airways Club, when DL offers DL customers access to the Delta Crown Room, when Continental offers CO customers access to the Presidents Club, and when Northwest offers NW customers access to the NWA Worldclubs for free based on status.
How have I not communicated?
Please re-read my posts or explain how I have not answered your question.
Are you trying to ask for a list of airlines who let you into their lounges even when you are not flying them based on status? If so, as I stated in my last post, no US airlines do this for US based residents. Many international do, but I don't have that list off the top of my head (the number of airlines is vast - probably more than 100).
But when it comes to lounge access, alliances cannot be ignored; you cannot be an LH senator without being a Star Gold, giving you unlimmited access to LH clubs anytime but also UA clubs when you fly UA domestically. I understand your goal is domestic lounge access? You can be a Star gold on another Star carriers having only flown UA and US crediting the miles to other Star carrier. If you are not allergice to UA/US YUP fares, BMI star gold would only take you about 18K of flying UA/US discounted F per year to attain.
