If you have an iPhone use the lightsabre application, works well and is good for a laugh too!

I'm not sure what Eagle's numbers are, but they have a much broader exposure to airports country wide; so unless you can get their JFK only numbers and compare them to our JFK only numbers I'm not sure you could really compare them.

I didn't know we were starting to use Terminal 4 now too... but that may be the beginning of the rebuild of Term 2 and 3? I know the Port Authority committed to redoing both terminals approx 8 months ago.... Hopefully that will mean jetbridges for Comair at JFK, but I'm not holding my breath.

Ha! Jetbridges for Comair at JFK! Do you really believe Comair will be around by then? If they are, by then they will only need two gates for the few 700/900's that they will have.

Delta will be using about 6 or 7 gates in Terminal 4 because of the expanded international service this summer, especially using the larger A330's from Northwest.

Hopefully they will run busses between a gate in terminal 2/3 to terminal 4, so that people don't have to exit the secure area and go through security twice.

How does Delta change their mind 4 times in six months if performance is the primary criteria they're using?

In my opinion, performance is further down the list when Delta starts playing favorites with their DCI menu.
Again, I say, in the letter from RA he pretty much said it comes down to price, not quality or customer service.

Now, why would they do that? I was talking to gate agents at 23 and they were telling me stories of pax connecting on NWA flights (Terminal 4) and missing connections and lots of complaining going on. They have to take the Airtrain and go back through security. Ya gotta love it when a merger goes through with no thought of how it will run
