The gate situation is the thing that irritates me the most about AA. Flying into DFW on AA I always sit waiting for the gate and I always wondered why. I have never had this issue on Delta at ATL and was wondering if it was simply because Delta had better procedures/more prepared or if I have just gotten lucky when connecting.
In my view Arpey is only marginally better than Tilton, if any.
