The OP is considerably uninformed. What is being described is preplanned arrival at actual bus gates with a whole support system of staff, stairs, buses, etc. Not as-hoc remote holding areas. The actual bus gates pretty much don’t exist in the US since we’re built out such that under normal operations all the planes get actual gates.
