lol...so that's why they change gates all the time...make everyone burn a few calories before boarding to lighten the load

Don't think I cared for the LAX fitness program, they flip flopped gates between our Malaysia 747 and a Cathay 747 both to depart around the same time, from the farthest gates at opposite ends of Tom Bradley terminal, but never announced the change, so everyone at either gate just assumed there was an issue with the aircraft and the other airline was substituting, cabin crews waiting had no idea either, both boards still showed our flight numbers on those gates.  Think the announcement was something like "We apologize, but there has been a little mix up, would passengers on Malaysia flight 95 report to gate XX and all passengers on Cathay flight XXX please report to gate XX"...Now if you can imagine around 350+ people per flight running from opposite ends of the terminal and having a massive meet up in the middle...it wasn't pretty
