so yes more gates coming which is a good thing, just not as good as you hoped.
The crew update just said 14 gates and IAD would have double the International capacity. So assumed those were all WB gates. Bottom line is we have plenty of places to pard planes, especially since the planes are probably in the air more than they are on the ground and can be towed on and off gate.
