You really believe that the runways at SEA cannot handle that much more traffic?

Boeing moving the corporate structure to Chicago was a huge middle finger to SEA. They have no loyalty to SEA beyond lip service to placate the local population. The fact that we are taking 330s and 350s over the 777 and 787 should be the middle finger to Boeing.

So, what is your estimate on the timing to complete a NEW customs facility? The estimate to complete the renovations on the existing north satellite are 2020-2022, I believe. So, a new facility will likely take longer, I am guessing....

Not sure if you fly through there often or not ... But to me, it looks like SEA does not seem able to handle much more traffic, especially if Delta says they are going to "double" their traffic. If a lot that growth is heavies, which requires increased spacing for wake turbulence and they only take-off or land on the inside runway, that will further affect SEA's traffic flow. Sorry to use logic, as I know it may not help you bubbas sleep at night...

When you're number 20 to takeoff on a sunny day, you'll know that KSEA is maxed out.
Until then . . . not even close!
Plenty of room for growth at all hours of the day.
Gates/customs are the only limiting factor.

According to this
Ready for take-off in 2016: vast expansion of Sea-Tac Airport - Puget Sound Business Journal
AK has 5,000 landings a month vs Delta's 1500~
Imagine what Delta will be able to do once they have close to the same number of gates in a couple years.
