Apparently the E170s are moving to the B/C concourse in PHL. When "MAA" started they were in D, then they were moved to F. They were supposed to move to mainline gates last year (it was even on the website) but then they kept them at F. PHL is the only one of the hubs where the E170s have ever used Express gates, everywhere else they were handled at mainline gates by mainline employees. PHL and DCA have "MAA" specific agents and ramp personell.
So... if they move them to B/C will there be dedicated gates or will they be all over? For now the MAA folks would move over there, but what about when the division ceases to exist?
Will Republic aircraft be handled in the mainline terminal by Piedmont employees, or will mainline people continue to handle the 170s?
What about in the other cities? Will PSA handle them in PIT, or PDT in DC, but at the mainline gates? Or will mainline handle an express carriers planes?
How many layoffs will that cause for mainline CS and Fleet Service in the hubs?
