wonder if the number 197 means anything to you? How about 212 feet 5 inches? Guess you missed that Delta is bringing A350s to Seattle. WBs are all about the feed. Not the wing span.

what does Delta currently fly into Seattle? And about to bring bigger a350. Do you all even know that WBs have a larger wingspan. Room meant gates! Not wingspan.

Yes, at gates designed for that. HA flights moving soon to the AS terminal that seems to be set up for 737s. That move at LAX took HA from a terminal designed for all WBs to a terminal with two WB gates. How many WB gates are there at terminal C in SEA? Asking because I don't know. If they're all designed for NB, the adjacent gates need to be empty when a WB is parked there. At least that's how it usually works.

Can't park on the west side of C because the tail will stick into the taxiway. 12 787s plus a few 330s coming at some point. The space issue is real.

Im assuming there would be at least one 330 at the N gates. 16A. We managed to park a widebody there a couple of years ago for American. I can’t recall which model. It does tie up at least 2 737 spots. N16 and N17.

That would free up a widebody spot at the S gates and allow the passengers to go through customs.

It was announced that American locked in extra gates in Tom Bradley and all of Terminal 4 & 5. Of course that's 2-3 years out with construction. By then Alaska probably will have acquired American lol. My advice change the name to Alaska

Don't even say things like that out loud. I'd never hear the end of it from Navy AA friends about how they "saved" us
