Some Changes Are Here
Not sure if it was already reported, but I couldn't find it.
Today @ EWR I have noticed that additional screens are installed next to the gates where Upgrade/stand by/destination information is displayed.
Straight from the spot

Impressing! We are becoming UA after all... 
Is it only in EWR or IAH too?

Looks like a good mix between what was displayed on the CO monitors and the UA monitors.
I like the "First Class Upgrade List" title. Some of UA's titles are confusing, like "Cleared" I think it refers to Standby paxs cleared but it can easily be thought of as Upgrade cleared

Good to see that the EWR-SFO upgrade list is much shorter than a typical IAD-SFO upgrade list

That gate has had the GIDS system for a while now. It was one of the original pilot installs in EWR before the project was shelved.

On the one hand, it negates the exclusivity of the pda site.
On the other hand, it will make GA's accountable, and should result in fewer instances of shenanigans.

See the thread I linked to above. They've been at select gates in EWR and IAH since mid-2009.
