They're not putting gates in at the C terminal. The jetways already exsist, but are not in use. There are 8 at the A terminal and there are 3 at the B terminal. The ones at A either need to be rehabed or replaced and the three at B are still functional. Comair will have to share the B terminal ramp tower with Delta. The bus drivers are toast though!

 

You know what's funny. I have a resignation letter typed up and always ready to go on my laptop, all I have to do is change the date. I'm afraid I will use it very soon if this circus continues...

<---I have multiple job offer, but it's probably because I have her picture on my resume

 

So CVG is going from Concourse C's 70 or so gates, coupled with Concourse A's forty or so gates to a total of eleven jetways?

I must not understand basic math.

 

Comair will utilize all of Concourse A and B jetways. We're just gonna have to share with Delta at B. The 11 jetways are just not currently in use. The 8 at A are not in use due to the plastic walkways and portable stairs attached to them (The CHQ gates!) Delta will remove that crap and make them functional jetways. The three over at B are not in use to utilize the gate space to store GSE and containers for the 767's

 

The press releases on the Concourse C closure sound like they are implying that Delta Connection flights will run out of both Concourses A and B, not just A. This would make sense since CVG's largest banks only include around 15 mainline aircraft now. Pathetic. They could park mainline on B and that would still leave about half of the concourse empty. By boosting the number of gates on A from 22 to 30, and on B from 26 to 38, that should leave at least 50 gates for DCI to operate out of. But since the project is supposed to take 2-3 years, they will apparently in the meantime park some DCI on hardstands with bus service to/from the terminal.

 

Is this airline gonna have a thirty-year anniversary next year? Maybe a fancy 1979-2009 paint job on one of its aircraft?

 

30 year was 2007! 1977-2007

 

I think we all know that we are going to get screwed in this merger process. It's funny how the media portrayed this closing Concourse C a passenger advantage, better service, blah blah blah... Delta doesn't care about that, what they are doing is preparing for the future, and I don't see Comair coming out on top unfortunately. Delta has been pi**ing on us for years, and it will continue...

 

No, you don't. C has 48 gates all belonging to Comair (15 70 seat gates). A has 23 gates (21 only operated by Comair, 2 being shared with DL for their charters) + 4 other gates (2 NW and 2 CO). B has 28 gates (not all are operational, ie B14).

To answer someone else's question about the tower, they will not be losing anyone. They are already running 3 lines down, which will most likely not be filled. They will transition to operate out of the B tower and/or will open the A tower (it is currently an emergency operations/coordination center for the airport).

The shuttle department will not entirely go away. But it will be scaled back to just a few employees. The rest will have the option to transfer to another CS position or take a buyout package.

Gate A1 was blocked off today due to employee briefing/meetings given by Tim Zeis. One in the AM for the AM shift and one at 1730 for the PM shift.

 

Where are the Reserve lines at I dont see it on Maestro? Its been a long time since I was on reserve!
