I guess that is what I meant.. though CO only had two gates (I believe) pre-merger. Now the "left side" of D is all branded D gates (D1 for Air Canada) out through the hammerhead.
D overall is nice; I am glad they didn't fully box in the waiting areas like B and C (I do wonder if that layout, ramp and stairs; was praised on initial opening...) and it does let their passengers spread out a little more. I think the B and C concourses would appear less congested if the room taken by the meandering ramps could be truncated, the jet bridges raised; and .... well; anyway...
I was surprised Spirit went into A-West gates (I guess it sort-of replaced Frontier)
