But I have a better idea. Call it the Scambo idea.
First, we bulldoze all but the main terminal building, no more arms/legs/extensions and jetways. Now let the airlines fight for the few gates that are left.
Then bulldoze everything on the south side of Grand Central Parkway to Astoria Blvd. We can use that to build a grand terminal and parking area. Sadly for RJs, but just maybe one day mainline jets!!!!!!
Then build a walkway from our terminal in LGA to our terminal in JFK.
There go a bunch of good crashpads. Well, maybe not good, but close to LGA.
I think the Supreme Court (can I make mention of the judicial branch of the US government without crossing the political line?) decided all of this back in the 50's.....underboob is in the eye of the beholder.
Buzz,
If you, Carl, Ferd, FTB, and all others who make my airport standby a little bit easier are leaving, please let the rest of us that lurk know.
I have a rotation with both a front end and back end deadhead. I want to deviate on both. I think that I figured out the front end OK, booked company business, and will inform crew scheds. Is it the same on the back end? I seem to remember it being different somehow?
Regular lineholder if it matters...
What iaflyer said. Also, don't forget that there is an easy way to inform CS of your deadhead on the back end. Call the VRU and go to crew tracking. One of the options for if deviating from deadhead. You just press the number, and CS is informed without you having to talk to anybody. Quick and easy.

I was ready to quit this place forever over these self aggrandizing, prude, worthless, Mods ... but then you post your brilliance and I'm sucked right back in.
Still think we should consider moving, or setting up our own server. I'll give you some seed money, or an 80386 with a math co-processor running a hacked Linux build to get you started.
LGA $3.6B terminal expansion... for the other airlines.
Evidently, according to this picture, we'll run into the buildings when using the taxiways.

You don't need to bulldoze anything, just spend a couple billion to shift 13/31, Alpha, Bravo, and all the spur taxiways about 30 feet to the North. Then you have room to build 4 or 5 new gates to handle expansion well into the 21st century. It's shovel ready.

Or, we extend 31 and 4 onto Riker's Island (each 11,000' without knocking down any houses), build a brand new terminal there (Call it the Commander Riker New York Intergalactic Airport), and move all the brick and barbed wire from the island to Astoria Blvd. and build a wicked tall wall. That's where we put the convicts, and we can put Snake Plissken in charge.
