I get everyone's replies in normal times, but it just struck me as very odd when traffic is a fraction of what it used to be. Why not consolidate, for efficiencies in staffing etc? Or put it another way, why ground-staff a lone domestic flight in G when there wasn't another domestic or intl flight to be seen.
Textile has an interesting point. I've noticed the same thing at EWR, walking past a dozen empty gates in between active ones. IAD and ORD on the other hand seem to have had much busier, compact in ops during these times.
