Yes I am. BA provide an F lounge the Concorde room is only for pax flying in F not even for BA Golds, so why should you have access?
They had a similar policy back in the old LAX TBIT as well and CX ack then
allowed EMD to go into the F Class lounge.

No, but BA set up the concorde room only for F pax if, if CX want to set up a lounge exclusively for F pax then they can go right ahead.

I still remember AA couldn't even check me through to HKG on the same ticket from BOS-JFK-HKG (same day connection) because the agent said:
"what is Cathy?"
If CX want to extend benefits beyond what they need to then that is upto them, and as I have said before they clearly do this because they believe it to be beneficial to them. The guy in BOS just sounds like he had no idea what he was doing, I would say its because AA werent going to interline your bags.
What benefits do you currently miss out on, that you have to argue to enjoy?
