Does AS even have to lease an entire gate for their current two flights per day?

So consider my post a nitpick, not a serious disagreement.
AS can easily squeeze more than 3 flights a day into one gate. Chicago comes to mind, although they may have one gate at this point they were, at one time, operating like 7 or 8 flights a day from one gate there.
