These lounges are not as good as most US Centurion lounges, but a lot better than most other US based lounges.
It has been argued in the AC forum whether the Air Canada MLL or these lounges are better.

Just picked up a new project in PHL. I would LOVE to have an Amex lounge there.

I wonder what the airlines' responses will be to this. There might be a substantial drop in their club memberships once Amex has lounges in most of the major airports.

1. Actually improve the airline lounges so they are a competitive product with the Amex lounges.
2. Give up and partner with Amex to allow airline memberships to be used there (or maybe in airports where there is an Amex lounge, but no lounge for that airline/alliance).
3. Keep on keepin' on. Currently, airline-specific lounges are targeted at loyalty travelers. Amex and other independent lounges/programs sell themselves on the "any airline" approach. Perhaps that's enough of a differentiator?
ETA:
While not a Centurion Lounge, here's an interesting example of an independent lounge and airline lounge co-oping a space in SAN.

The airlines might see a hit, but I don't think it will be severe.

Exactly...
Certainly concur with this one, with the exodus of AA/US from the Platinum Lounge program DCA went from having 4 accessible lounges to one crippled lounge (i.e. a Delta lounge no longer allowing guests). That along with the fact that IAD only has a a BA lounge via Priority Pass (and only available at certain hours), this doesn't seem befitting on the Nations capital.

RUMOR: JFK, ATL, & LAX to Get Centurion Lounges?
I hope this is the right place to put this, but I was talking to an agent this evening about adding an AU on my Plat account and he mentioned Centurion lounges will be coming to these airport. If true, that would be pretty cool, but who knows if he is correct.
ETA: The guy was really nice, too. He emailed me his extension so he can be a single point of contact within AMEX. Although he did say that he normally works only with Gold and Plat accounts, and he may only have limited help with my two revolving accounts.

Newark Terminal C would be amazing. The UCs are packed and sub-standard for anyone who has been to a McDonalds or a Blimpie.

I agree and it would even make a ton of sense commercially for Amex to a lounge in Terminal C. With the amount of UA irops these days there must be amny pax looking for affordable lounge space which is not affiliated with UA. It would also be a nice way to address the PP select issue w/ UA clubs.

I personally would LOVE a Cent Lounge in ATL, but the cynic in me can't see them stomping all over Mrs. Amex's flower garden.
