Good question about the new remote 900 stands. I think 925/927/929 were due to be operational back in April.
I expect Scottie Dog can confirm whether they are now in use. The group of 10 stands at the NW perimeter beyond Pier 1 (901-919 odd numbers only) as of a week or so ago were not yet commissioned as I understand it, although to all intents and purposes were complete. Again, any clarification would be appreciated.

To Skip's point, there has been some surprise that given the few movements on R1, R2 hasn't been put to use for temporary parking, or even one or two taxiways unless WIP is already causing taxiway restrictions.
