What BBN said about it

  1. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorToday: could your next flight be an afterthought at an airport designed around fifteen jets?

  2. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorFifteen. Not fifteen hundred. Fifteen planes get a whole airport and you get a plastic chair near a vending machine that eats dollars.

  3. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorSimple Flying reports the new mega-hub is being built purpose-first around those fifteen jets, with the planes as the design priority.

  4. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorSo the planes are the guests of honor, and we're the catering staff with boarding passes.

  5. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorNothing in the report says passengers are being ignored. It says the layout starts with the aircraft.

  6. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorStarts with. Ends with my bag in a jet's lost property.

  7. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorShould you be worried? Eat a sandwich. The jets will not be sharing theirs, but this is back same time tomorrow.
