You sure give Delta a lot of power. Do a little research and you will find gates are not the issue. ATL airport moves more aircraft than any other airport with 5 or more runways. What Atlanta needs for growth is another runway to go with a additional gates already planned. Delta by the way pushed for a terminal G which was rejected by the airport authority as too expensive. Instead existing terminals are being extended. Delta has also offered to demolish their current headquarters and all the training facilities to get a sixth runway built in ATL. Does not sound like they are trying to restrict capacity!
