I posted about this in the BA LHR flight thread and got down voted. But the new terminal was designed to be too small from the get go. (Currently have 42 gates, new terminal will start with 30 + these 6) and the terminal will go from 6 customs accessible gates to 2. They pulling a fast one on taxpayers
It is not about total number of gates, it is about maximum gate utilization. The new terminal design will allow for more efficient use.
Example: currently MSY serves 10 million pax with 42 gates. For comparison DAL serves 14 million pax with just 20 gates. Or AUS, 11 million pax with only 25 gates.

That's with 98% of the flights being SWA which has a 30 minute turnaround. The legacy carriers take much longer to turnaround and MSY is mostly legacy carriers as SWA only has ~40% market share.
