PIT "expansion?"
When US de-hubbed PIT, the airport walled off the ends of concourses A and B. Now it looks like the end of A has been re-opened. Some new carpeting, but only two gates in use, by Southwest and United.
Does anyone know why this happened? I doubt that Southwest or United are looking to make PIT a focus city.

The PEX strategy was interesting -- move into hubs that the majors have moved out of -- but execution was of course a full disaster. Perhaps another entrant will come along and do it better but airports like PIT had better get their money up front.
