re: NOLA: "New airport 'like a Mercedes with flat tires'"

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?
Right now there are 35 gates. Assuming each gate gets used 6x a day, that's 210 turns a day. I think right now we are at 150. If we got to 210 or more, might require some smarter gate matching to plane size. Unless we were to become a major hub (which would never happen given we only have 2 runways) we aren't ever going to get a ton of huge aircraft.
To me, rotating gates allows traffic to be spread out more which is a good thing. Maybe I'm missing something, but this just doesn't seem like a huge deal to me.

Why would it be a big deal for you? You work there and don’t give a shite.

No you have proven your vast knowledge of how airports work. Keep it up i have nothing major planned and you are quite the entertainment.
