Being that MSY is my home airport, I can honestly say that I've never seen MSY operating at peak *capacity* ... we have so much over capacity down here now it's not even funny!

Matt, I don't suppose you walked down to the end of C concourse where United is. American just moved in down there and their is just vast expanses of seats and space down there ... it's unbelievable!

Let's see ... 10 gates in A ... 12 gates in B ... 12 gates in C ... 6 gates in D ... we're up to about 40 gates now down here ... only 30 of which are occupied at the most!

Also, you'll hardly ever be delayed when you're flying out of here ... the highest I've ever seen is number two for departure!
