Guy my love. I cannot believe that in all the years that you and I have been posting here that this comes as a sort of revelation to you?

I would love - really love - to know who says which flight will go to which gate at that over stretched crowded capacity dump. I cannot tell why aircraft are no moved by tugs to particular gates. No - never mind that - why is there still 5th world bussing - where in the USA does that happen? I suppose until the airlines "own" their stands and gates it never will.

I agree with you wholeheartedly but given that we still do not have an airport policy in this country, why on earth do you expect us to have gate information?
