Looks like things are chugging along at PAE. The jet bridges have been put in place.

Can't wait to try out this new terminal. I hope the new environmental impact statement will open up the possibility of adding more flights in the future. But 2 gates and a small terminal might limit that potential even if the environmental study would find no adverse impacts by additional flights.

Yeah your right, bus stands can increase pax throughput of the terminal.i hope they have carved out a large apron space in front of the terminal.

I am worried about 2 gates being able to not get backed up. Remote stands could help but if there is not enough ground crew to handle the buses and baggage, it won't help much. Also, the gates are still needed for the next flight to board. With all the delays throughout the country these days, I don't see how everything can line up perfectly to not develop contention at those two gates. I have seen Alaska at DAL with 2 gates and it is quite a juggle, often introducing delays. I can't imagine three different airlines sharing two gates! Who wins when there is contention??
