I had heard about that but thought by now the lease had run its course. Well yeah, I guess UA should find some use for all that space. I had heard that even thought they are getting paid for the lease the city obviously would prefer the gates be used. More landing taxes, tourism, etc..... They (the city/airport) kind of got burned on that deal when UA pulled CLE as a hub. Not to mention all the employees there that had to then "commute " to hubs such as ORD to work. Well at least this new move is suppose to help that. I was told there are still approximately 60 FAs based out of CLE.
