Delta is moving out of Terminal 6 in May of this year. Let's see if Oscar subleases Continental Gates 60-69 to someone else or starts using them for United. And yes, 4 of those gates are unrestricted WB gates.
http://clkrep.lacity.org/onlinedocs/...11-30-2016.pdf The Third Amendment will remove all space currently leased by United in Terminal 6 from the lease agreement with a corresponding reduction in the overall space occupied by United at LAX by 41,000 square feet to 48,543 square feet—depending upon construction variables and scheduling—with all remaining passenger operations being consolidated in Terminals 7 and 8. A corresponding reduction in lease revenue to LAWA of $6 million annually ($64 million vs. $58 million) will occur. However, since a portion of the Terminal 6 space is also occupied by American Airlines through a sublease with United, the lost revenue to LAWA from the changes to United Airlines’ lease will be recovered through a lease between LAWA (as the new Lessor) and American Airlines. All other provisions of the lease will remain unchanged. The proposed Amendment was approved by the Board of Airport Commissioners (Board) on November 3, 2016. By modifying the United Airfines lease for Terminal 6 space, it will reduce the airline’s preferential use gates at LAX from 24 to 20 while retaining the terminal’s current lessee, American Airlines. Subsequent to the approval of the Third Amendment with United Airlines, a new lease with American Airlines for space in Terminal 6 will be negotiated and submitted to the Board for approval. To align the airport’s leased spaces in a way that will best accommodate the planned airline relocations that are part of Delta Air Lines' move from Terminals 5 and 6 to Terminals 2 and 3, LAWA is removing United Airlines from the Terminal 6 lease while substituting the Department as Lessor to the remaining airlines, including American, Alaska Airlines, etc. Doing so will give LAWA more flexibility to manage and adjust future lease spaces and tenant agreements. |

Well in fairness they don't really do the same things. Sharklets arrest spanwise airflow above the wing like conventional winglets, the scimitars above and below. The silly names are for the marketers, I suppose. Differentiate that brand!

Do the airplanes fly, are we, the pilots, getting paid and trained about any issues that might arise while piloting them?
If so the only reason I would care about these attachments to the wings is they look good! The rest is all just part of the job. Back in the day we loved the 727 (three-holer) because not only would it fly fast (down low) it looked fast while sitting on the ramp! Now the yuppie guppie (737-300/500) is another story. It flew slow, about .75 max, and looked like a pig on the ground. No matter what the things do they are like putting a spoiler on a car, looks! |
