AA took over the Spirit gates (we are already using them) and lost some Air Wisconsin gates. The end result are more of the larger gates for better mainline capacity. Travel bloggers are almost always wrong and look at the date of that podcast, it was produced before AA announced they were expanding service in ORD.
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.

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.

We are also picking up gates on the north side of the L gates. Not sure if those will be RJ or mainlines gates. Our charts show 3 gates, I’m thinking they will be RJ gates.
