Could you explain where those gates go? And will they like the current gates where you cannot use them all at the same time?
I believe they would extend A, not 100 percent sure on that.
Is using all the gates at the same time a necessary or practical idea? How long is a plane at a gate? An hour, max? Meanwhile it seems like a gate is only used every 2 hours or so (for 1 hour, i.e. each 2 hour period, the gate has a plane for 1 hr and no plane for 1 hr). So staggering use seems like a fine thing to do.

The state would have done a far better job. They are not perfect but are far better at such things than the inept folks in New Orleans.
The same state that knew in 2013 the airport needed interstate access and will take until 2023 to provide it? The same state that built a useless bridge in St. Francisville? The same state with a 15 billion dollar road construction backlog? The same state that hasn't maintained Zephyr Field, and had huge time and cost overruns in construction and updates to the Dome and SKC (except for when unlimited FEMA money is involved)?
Look the state may be better than the city... but the city is the worst government in America and the state is the second worst.

Sadly, the State still would have done a better job. Yes, the choice is like deciding if you would rather screw Rosie O'Donnell or Roseanne Barr but one is better. In that case I don't know which one so I am not sure it was the best example.
During peak times, you do need most of the gates, and we were sold that peak times were one of the reasons we needed the new airport. Planes also have issues that require them to sit longer at the gate and you ever know when you need the other gates. What good are having that many gates if you cannot use them at the same time?
