Of course those Rat B@#$#%* at USair will block them... ever seen that USair gate in the "A" terminal. Every actually see 1) a gate agent using it? 2) a plane using it? Since they control 100% of all the other terminals... so nice of them to keep those others from getting an extra gate in the A terminal. As you know all the other airlines have no more than 2 gates. </font>
Now, now cigarman, I have actually seen a USAirways plane pulled up to that gate over on the A Concourse. But I can't say I've seen a gate agent there. I'd say that the expansion of A has at least opened up a couple of gates here and there. At one point in time, I seem to recall that AA had 4 gates over there. TWA's one gate will become available, unless AA keeps it. NW seems to have just 2 and same with CO.
Big question is whether anyone but BA and US will get to use the new D gates, and then if anyone else can bring in commuter service to the new E.
The rat b-----ds at US didn't block ValuJet when they came in, or Southeast. While they've got the right to block - doubt they'd really do it.
