I am not sure that this is the last trace of That Wonderful Airline that used to make Alex and I sooo happy, and make for entertaining plane watching (and scanner-listening of squeeze plays*)...

...but...
In other news, Southwest is now up to Gate 40 (although we use a perverted counting method of all even numbers and maybe even skipping a few here and there...
Makes your airport sound bigger if you have a whole lot of gates.
*Two runways, both with arrivals and departures...one plane flaring...another lifting off...."TWA 232, slow it up as much as you can...in fact, make some s-turns to the south, two departures prior to your arrival...Ozark 807 be ready...traffic off your left will be northeast bound, maintain visual separation, heading 130..." Today...50% more runways, 75% less traffic.

Re: Meanwhile, in Flyover America
On a reasonably related topic, does your airport have a gate 13?
I've noticed some have chosen to exclude it.

I am very superstitious about my baseball...For flying, it's still the post takeoff climb out...do you really have to pull up THAT MUCH...it sure FEELS relentless!On a reasonably related topic, does your airport have a gate 13?

It would seem that we object to Gate 13 based on our A and C gates. (There is one more chance for a 13 in the B-gates (which are closed and not shown here). D and E play the "North-side = even number" game.
Maybe we also object to Gate 11 (although maybe that's just a coincidence that what USED to be a Gate 11 is converted to a restaurant/gift shop/something.
Dummy has complained about the food offerings in the A area...C'mon man, this is Flyover, not New Yark...however, he's right, we should be offering stuff like road-kill-possum burgers instead of a damn Starbucks and Dunkin Donuts.
