PSA: avoid SLC like the plague

First post-rona trip through SLC this weekend. DL LAS-SLC yesterday was okay, except the jetway was inoperable when we pulled up.... 4th flight in a row with jetway issues, but i digress....

TODAY, AA SLC-DFW, I discovered comedy value unmeasurable with current technology..... i think the distance from Hertz to B15 must be close to a kilometer, and i'm not kidding.

yes, the first remote pier airport in history built without a people mover... it does exist, in Great Salt Lake City Utah.

NEVER fly any airline other than Delta in to SLC. Every other airline is now operating out of Terminal B, aka Siberia, Utah. With zero real estate pressure and miles of open land to the north, the idiots that thought this was an acceptable design should be drawn, quartered, shot, and if there is any electrical activity at all remaining in their spinal cords, dunked in caustic soda, just to be sure. "People are just going to have to arrive earlier" is the statement I heard repeated by <redacted> staff parroting what must be the party line. I witnessed a dozen elderly folks about to COLLAPSE AND DIE halfway down the tunnel under the tarmac, 30 minutes in to their hike aka attempt to Summit Terminal B. There were 30 people in wheelchairs waiting to be pushed down the tunnel. Just fricking insane. Unbelievable.

Note to the stAAf at GSW: i am a paid F customer and I will never willingly fly any airline other than DL to SLC for the remainder of my life, as the word is an APM like Atlanta (1981), Denver (1995) and every other remote pier airport BUILT IN THE HISTORY OF PLANET EARTH is, in Great Salt Lake City, at least "10-15 years away".

Ludicrous. Unbelievable. Add 1 hour to your AA, UL or WN ingress/egress at SLC.

I'm still in disbelief.
