It was also interesting how they seem to have abandoned the main gate check in counters and just use the gate door podiums now. I peeked behind a few desks to see there weren't even computers/monitors anymore.
It's such a great facility. Perhaps HP will pick it up a little, but they more or less let Columbus go, so I don't know how pumping up PIT would really help them.
This really is sad. I was discussing with a friend yesretday how nice it was on the rare occasions we flew through PIT (being on the South end, we're almost exclusively CLT folks). It always seemed like a good place to fly through.
But with the merger happening, it's really hard to get a handle on how things will change in the next year - maybe it'll turn around.
