re: New MSY Terminal design: taxi times to increase by 40% for inbound jets, 70% for outbound

In post Landrieu New Orleans, it is though the man wasn't Mayor for the prior two terms when discussing issues and infrastructure problems. If you criticize him or mention him negatively then it becomes about statue removal.
Mitch Landrieu was the lead voice in the push for the new airport, which he described as "the gateway of the South". He made sure he held a ceremony in the new terminal before he left office and his name will be on a plaque there. There are many people to blame for the project being poorly planned, over budget and delayed, but you have to start the conversation with Mitch.
