When GLA got PIK's transatlantic traffic, they operated facilities like a summer zoo from 1990 until 1995 with multiple wide bodies on the original international pier which is perfectly suited to A319 sized and below!
Saturdays had a 361 seat Worldways TriStar next to a NW DC-10, BA L1011 and AA B767 with Air Canada joining the mix later, with Air 2000 off to Orlando ALL alongside based Britannia etc. It was a wildly unsuitable facility for an extended period, and yet the very year they had it fixed with a new build pier was the year United threw in the towel and after NWA had left.
Bubbles burst, it's their nature. Be careful about wishing too much more into the mix in such a short period.
