I have never been in a PC that small, but I also have not traveled through SEA. For that matter, I've never been in any other RCC. The one at PHX seemed smaller than the PCs at ATL and SFO, and much smaller than the one in AUS. There were two agents at the front desk, however, and they were very friendly. I'm sure they make life much easier for RCC members when something goes wrong with PHX United flights.

Also, like PCs and WCs CRC's have complimentary beverages. I believe RCCs have cash bars. I don't know whether or not non-alcoholic drinks are complimentary.

All RCCs and Admirals Clubs have a cash bar.
I refuse to visit any establishment that charges for alcohol
Getting back to the topic, I agree with posters that CO could pick up US Air's old, abandoned club and turn it into a PC. Maybe a CO/NW joint venture that excludes DL

Ya know, the Skyteam lounges are one of their greatest assets. I wonder why they are not promoted more.

My guess is that the airline/alliance choices are not based on lounges as much as they are on network coverage and thus spending revenue on lounge promotions probably will not yield an enough added income to pass the break eve point for the promotion.
Just my speculation,

The UA int'l F lounges provide unlimited drinks, no chits required.
