I like the idea pf going to cubicles in the Sky Clubs with four amex card holders to a cubicle and no restrictions on AMEX entrance unless the cubicles are full

And even in ATL, specific clubs are worse during certain parts of the day. E and F are far busier in the late afternoon and evening as the TATL flight bank starts (and as the TATL flights are starting to come in). But E & F can be pretty quite in the morning to early afternoon.

"blogger speculates" means about zero. I mean my kids can daydream up all sorts of "speculation" that is just as interesting as anything I've seen a blogger spew for clicks.

JFK for sure, coming back from AMS around 4 pm the line to get in was long. It was empty during the morning though. I have not experienced any issues on any of the ATL or BOS clubs yet.

JFK is fine, and getting more club space, except during the big TATL push. This is probably the hub that will benefit by far from the D1 club opening though.
ATL is hit or miss depending on the club (ATL B, NOT YOU!......aka B is always a cluster)
I have been in T and A center one day and them be a ghost town, then the next day same time they have lines. You can also go to A center it have a line and walk down to the other A club and it be empty.
It just is very dependent on the day. The good thing is, if you don't mind walking around some, you can almost always find a club that isn't very busy. C and D clubs are pretty reliable for that.
T use to be till all the people that knew about the T club starting running their f&%king mouths! about the club existing.
but if it pulls the people away from the window seats at A center, I'm all for it.
ATL E&F are the same way. Morning time they can be a ghost town. Evening TATL rush and they are balls to the wall.

Classic example on how to be disgusted by a loyalty program and push its cards at the same time:

getting off the DL elite status chasing hamster wheel and using credit card benefits instead to save money while having to fly DL anyway.
So some will be signing up for or downgrading DL Amex card products even when being disgusted by DL being DL in doing these changes to status acquisition/retention and lounge access.
