(Jet Blue has use of some of the gates now).
No idea how reliable this is, but if true, is VERY disappointing.
Unfortunate to hear and different from what I heard earlier this month.
JetBlue is now using 4 PANYNJ common-use gates previously allocated to United on A-2, and perhaps the volume of passengers in the satellite (plus reduced # departures until November at least) doesn't justify it. By the time EWR is back at full schedule, the opening of the new Terminal A (with a United Club) will be imminent.
