One thing I notice besides chronic lack of gates - mechanical things getting discovered shortly before takeoff on planes that had been there for a couple of hours or more.

On the bright side, booking it from L10 to G16 in 5 minutes is one hell of a workout!
Both posts make perfect sense to me/my understanding, I'm just trying to keep from in any way commingling the info that I have and my own opinion, since it's a big development and I don't really have as great an understanding as many here on what it all means. So, just putting out as fact what I know to be fact.
But, certainly as a personal opinion, these opinions sound pretty spot-on.
