We will have to wait and see. Southwest has added very few flights at PHL for 6-12 months and most are the seasonal additions to Florida. Yes they are split between two terminals but they have at least 7-9 gates right now for around 55-60 flights a day.(They lost usage of a few gates due to the E construction) That is a high utilization but not as high as it once was when their initial ramp up in PHL occurred. I am not too sure that once they centralize in E and gain more gates that all of a sudden they will ramp up like they have in DEN. It could have more to do with the airline industry rebounding than gaining additional gates but I am still not sold.
