I did notice that DL was boarding out of D3 on Tuesday morning, too. I forget what flight it was (it wasn't MEM, DTL, or MSP). Maybe ATL? I thought it was odd that they were using a gate that high up in D, although I have seen DL planes parked there in the AM from the night before

I have seen them use this gate several times. It is staffed in an inconvenient fashion. GAs come up periodically to make announcements, then they go back to the end of the concourse to chitchat with their buddies. I once watched a captain try to get through the door to the jetway, wait a while, then go chase down a GA so he could get out to the plane to do his preliminaries.

Well, they have some time to think about it.

Came in from ATL the other night on a 757 and parked at D3... sort of like the parking aspect of it cause its a long walk from the hammerhead after a long day at work and a connecting flight. A shorter walk to the ground transport is always welcome.
