Update: I was denied entry! CX dragon said their flight was full and there was a hand written list for eligible passengers, which she referred to. There was less than 10 people in there at the time from what I could see (which was about 7:45pm). The AF lounge is pretty ordinary with poor food and beverage offerings, and no shower facilities (which is the worst part for me)!
Conclusion: QF have lost me as a customer on the SYD-SFO route. I'd rather go through LAX and then I can fly VA with their superior product.
Obviously you were not as forceful as our esteemed agent 86 when confronted with the same problem.
Has anyone tried nominating a time you'd be out by? Perhaps based on when CX check in opens. That would tend to remove the capacity limit as an excuse. eg: Can I be granted entry to this clearly underutilised lounge now, in accordance with oneworld lounge rules, if I'm out by 2230? I would imagine this request at 2030 or 2100 would be reasonable.
