We will get lots as long as we're willing to overpay for the construction like any big city airport project. That skinny bridge in LGA was 350 million…the arm in JFK 1.5 BILLION, for I think under a dozen gates. Palms have to be greased in situations like this. These are the most unremarkable structures imaginable, yet if its on a big city airport a 5-10 gate terminal extension will usually cost many times more than a 1500 ft tall sky scraper. Think about it.
Now is the perfect time to pay the airport mobs their bribe money, and I expect we will do exactly that.
