One empty table in the dining area, and even the seating areas are pretty busy.

I'd imagine that's why AA have moved the goalposts here.

Everything you're saying is true, but of that 9k increase if we use your numbers, the CCR is doing just fine (according to 80% of people in the CCR thread - food quality aside) and that is where a majority of those GGLs are flying through. How many of them are using JFK for domestics? I'd say less than 10% which is still very generous; it doesn't seem a hard fight for BA to make a case.

As I know everyone likes to keep tabs on the champagne offering. On 6th March the signature champagne was LPGS. I was on BA182 (2315 departure) so was pretty much the last person in the lounge, and there was still plenty to go around.

There are uniform OW rules for lounge access. It is up to each individual OW airline to decide who gets access to any lounge not covered by the OW agreement. Whether AA wants to pay for access to the Chelsea lounge for BA's GGLs on domestic flights is for AA to decide. There is nothing for BA to restore here.

Quick access question which Im sure someone here will know the answer to:
Will I have access to the Chelsea Lounge if arriving on BA in F in the evening and departing the following afternoon in J to LAX? From the oneworld rules I think not but Im not sure if different rules apply to this lounge.

Got in as GGL (with a guest) on a non-Flagship domestic flight yesterday (nice BA agent). LGPS, no Krug.
An American chap asked for "Champagne from France!" and got Moet lol.
