They have 14 jetways at MKE, and in the morning block they have 21 aircraft on the ground at once, meaning some CRJ's get jetways and others must use ground boarding. A number of other banks are almost as busy.
Their current schedule generally has them using all their jetway gates, plus some ground boarding of the CRJ's at D29. Nothing at the old mass Skyway gate of D52 (Great Lakes is alone there) and nothing at ground-level-boarding D27 or D28.
