No GIDS at RDU?
This morning was our first time flying DL out of the new Terminal 2 at RDU. I was surprised to see in the brand new terminal there were no GIDS. Does anyone know if DL plans on adding them?
Also does anyone know when the CRC will be opening up at RDU?

I doubt there will be GIDS. I believe the new terminal is set up to be a CUTE terminal, so it's a bit harder to customize the gates to an airlines own designs.

RDU’s Terminal 2 is a common use facility and is designed to function as a shared environment for many functions as opposed to each carrier having entirely its own assigned and exclusively used space. It also features one IT infrastructure over which all airline and tenant voice communication and data are transmitted.

What would be great is for the CUTE airports to come up with some sort of a GIDS interface to use. DL, NW, AA and UA all have some sort of feature at several of their airports to show upgrade/standby lists, facts about the flight, etc. CO is also rolling this out this year. I'd love to have something at LAS/RDU that could be shared amongst airlines, but shows the standby/upgrade/cleared lists minimally.

Personally, I don't think I've seen GIDS at any location outside of the hubs, SEA and MCO. Do they really put them in at other stations?

I believe JAX was the test airport for the GIDS...at least JAX along with others like GSO were test airports for the new boarding pass scanners when they started almost a decade ago.

There are 23 airports with GIDs.
ATL, BDL, BOS, CVG, DCA, DFW, EWR, FLL, HSV, JAX, JFK, LAX, LEX, LGA, MCO, ORD, PBI, RSW, SEA, SFO, SJU, SLC, and TPA.
Most likely. There are airports that will not allow GIDs (or other airline equivalents) because of common use or the airline not having ownership of the gate.
I agree. This is obviously the way that the airlines are moving...CUTE airport terminals will need to adapt.
