I'm going to miss the tram ride LOL. I was at SMF Terminal B on Monday afternoon and "crowded" was not a word I would use. But I can understand the economics.
Indeed there is. However even when US leaves *A, in theory there is nothing to stop them contracting access to the *A lounge for their passengers. However, I don't think the BA International lounge is that troubled by crowds that they would need to.

The new AA at YYZ
I presume that US will be moving from terminal 1 to terminal 3 where AA has a much bigger presence and a lounge.
Can anyone confirm when this will occur?
Also, the US Airways staff are horrific. I once had a bad experience with a US agent berating other passengers and I for showing up under the 1 hour mark and going on and on about how it was "unfair" to her and the ramp agent--when we were paying passengers. Because of that experience I stopped flying US Airways outright.
How can we make sure that those staff members will not be transferred to T3 given that AA probably doesn't need as many of them?

A thread in the Delta forum says that RDU is testing out moving Delta to the D gates, presumably to allow US to move closer to the AA gates.

If we all stopped flying an airline based on bad behavior of a single airline employee during a single incident, then none of us would be flying any airline.
I will say, you were in the wrong for showing up at YYZ under the one-hour mark considering all the formalities you have to go through there before you can board the plane. Maybe some berating was deserved.
These are not our determinations to make.

(I have had similarly bad US agents in LGA-which is an airport they basically surrendered to the DOJ.)

Another problem would be adequate seating inside the secure area. AA might need to subsume the restaurant next to gate 76.
The mothballed AA club is intact and inside the secure area, full of airport chairs currently.

Frontier has been recently shoehorned into the AA gates in terminal C (76, 77, 78, 79). I suspect Frontier will soon be moved again toward the far end of C (the 80s gates), and US will be moved into the AA area. AA really only uses 76 (Chicago) and 77 (DFW) now. Would two gates be adequate for US flights to CLT, PHX, DCA, and PHL? Wonder if MCI would build a long jetway path to gate 80/81 next to the jetway for gate 79.

The main issue is that with only two gates, there's a block of time roughly 14:45-16:15 where there's an arrival from everywhere except PHX, and departures to all four. So in that 90-minute block basically everything has to run on time, or somebody doesn't have a gate.

The current US schedule (to the best of my knowledge) has three weekday flights to/from CLT (+1 Mesa CRJ9 on Mondays), three each PHL and DCA, and two PHX. It is theoretically possible to pull it off with only two gates, but there's going to be some crunch time in the mid-afternoon.

Agreed. The AA gate area at MCI is by far one of the worst. I love my airport but with the addition of Frontier to the gates next door it has created a great amount of congestion during busy times. It'll e interesting to see how they resolve this logistical nightmare.

They also will need a fifth gate. Possibly building a jetway to a new gate. Either from the converted restaurant area as gate C-75 or a jetway running outside the old Admirals Club toward a new parking stand C-80.
