Not sure if people care but came back across this thread looking for a certain post and thought I would give some updates.
Concourse D is reopening the back half of next year to preparation for demolition of the old concourses to start. SWA is going to pick up 2 more gates E42/44 when that happens which will put them at 19 total. Once D reopens you will be able to walk between terminals air side. So if someone isn't checking luggage you could enter and exit out of T1 instead of T2.
Below will be the layout and gate assignments while they tear down concourses A/B and build the first half of the new terminal. The Sun Country one is just a placeholder as they will use a city gate, they could end up by Delta if they are even still around, the rest of the gates have now been assigned. Gates E4-24 aren't shown. Don't pay attention to the company plane at each gate, ie a Southwest plane in a United labeled gate, I just copy and pasted planes from other gates to fill the space. D20 is currently planned to be a hardstand.

100% speculation by me - I do wonder if planning ahead a bit and they do decide to go the widebody route, you can't fly them out of HOU, MDW, DAL so they might be proactive and open another base they could easily use as a widebody base and are considering moving on it now while the new terminal is still under design. Until the terminal is done they already have easy customs access at STL. But that might just be looking with some bias on my part. It might not factor in at all.

Yeah, I've been on reserve the past year, and have had a whopping two unused days -- with a "pass" preference. We're definitely very lean for summer ops.

Sorry if not directly enough related question… But for anyone who commutes out of STL, how is the pilot/employee parking setup situation? SWA or other airlines…
Is it reasonably safe and secure, convenient to get to airport from lot etc? Is there a airport parking division to contact to get started?
