That isn't completely accurate - a free-standing bar that doesn't have associated food cannot operate in much of the state.

For anyone interested, Adam Carolla (comedian with a very popular podcast) railed against the poor Delta FC offerings in today’s episode. May be worth a listen for those interested, and may get some attention from DL.

Makes sense, DL’s offering is comically bad. Lol

I was confused by his comment on the remote gate. Is delta not solely out of T2 and T3?

Maybe someone high up at Delta listens to his podcast as well.

They’re using TBIT as well. Not sure if they actually end up out at the western remotes ever.

I'd assume he was talking about having to use the T2-T3 bus shuttle and not using a remote bus gate.

At T3 they are busing you from plane toT2. Flew in SFO-LAX and we went down stairs to a bus this week.
