I will note a carpenter has been above my apartment for years which is a small always hammering and banging while during the same time the whole T4 expansion has been completed which as you know is a large square footage addition with a lot more materials used if someone was even doing construction work. Must be the worst carpenter in the world or has other motives. But I use this example because Delta in a few months will be ready with T4 which is an impressive feat.
The workers have been on time and on budget and they need to be commended. But everyone can see what it looks like for themselves and what it will accomplish which for the terminal is a lot for flyers, too numerous to name.
