I've flown out of MCO at least a dozen times this year at various times, morning afternoon and evening. One APM is always closed for int'l pax. Is there not a better solution, especially for outbound passengers? Why not realign the crowd flow so guests leaving immigration merge with "regular" people prior to boarding the APM, with both groups loading via the outer "exit" doors? Guests arriving into the gatehouse would then unload via the inner doors (the current loading area)? Just don't understand the logic of wasting an entire train, especially if the international pax on the train are cleared into the US with no reason to be kept separate. What am I missing?
