We lost 4 gates. Quick google search. It has to do with frontage. Net loss was 7 gates. AA 4. JetBlue 1, Air Canada, 1 and Spirit 1. I think those are the ones. United is turning that footage into 6 gates. They win. We lose. Kirby out smarts again. All revisited soon. And then gates will be juggled again.
Chicago Chiefs came out and said it wasn't true. Either they lied or were lied to or didn't do research. Not good for the base.
