You may both be kinda correct. The word I have heard is that in the “new” gates being built, Spirit and Alaska will be consolidated to the east end and get 6 gates (all common use but that’s where they will be) and then SWA gets all the other gates in C including the 3 vacated by Alaska and Spirit. So in the end we will grow by 13 gates. Have also heard the plan is DEN being 900 pilots a side by the time the expansion is complete.
