As I understand it, it's T3. So AC staff at T1 won't be going near the picket lines. They may be on the 192 rocket or UPX with picket people but the lines ... are at T3 - I assume. If they are anywhere near the airport?!?
But those transfers could affect AC. And remember it's the last carriers reaponaibilty to deliver luggage... I feel sorry for anyone who has to deal with AC for lost luggage. Or delayed.
