If they were to do another cold weather city to connect all their vacation cities to my guess is BUF. They have the gates available and their catchment area includes the most populous area of Canada
Jump to postAs far as Gate's 22 & 27 at SYR having jetways at those gates should increase flexibility for airline operations. Right now gate 20 is used as overnight gate for UA and the rest of the day by Frontier. Gate 22 is used as an RON gate by UA w/ just a ramp for boarding (in the past that gate had a...

What is the point of that? Why not add service to somewhere that isn't already well served?
Now that we know everyone got off the plane, I wonder how many tried to grab their carry-on first before evacuating.
Jump to postI’m thinking this all just means they had to close the CBP station so that personnel could be pulled to do the bomb screenings of vehicles out front.

Jump to postI don’t think they have anymore gate space since there’s already four planes that RON: JFK, LGA, ATL and DTW. They’d have to push a plane back into a stand or steal Gate 20 for a RON again.

Jump to postI’m guessing with the pilot shortage this was more about DL saving as much time as possible to get that flight in the air. Those passengers weren’t cooperating and so DL just kept pushing til they found their price. Those pilots and that plane I’m sure had other turns to do that day.

Jump to postWas thinking about Gate 15 at SYR. Looking on Google Maps at the SYR terminal it might be possible for Southwest to achieve their dual boarding process if they position the plane just right at Gate 1 so that the jet bridge at Gate 15 will swing over and reach the L2 door.
