Firm tickets only is how I read it. Your ID 90 wouldn't permit access anyway. There are actually very few airlines that I know of that allow their own staff to use the lounge on staff tickets anyway, BA being just one. You don't HAVE to use it, but at least you CAN if you choose. For family members on a special occasion, I think it's a nice option. Personally, I could eat and drink way more than $100 worth of food and fine wine in 4 hours.......and probably will!
Hardly worth the rant, don't you think?
