By eliminating the call to gate system the CAA has now eliminated the suggestion that passengers are meant to remain in the central seating area. I really hope some heads have rolled over the entire design and construction of the new terminal... it's been a complete failure.

I agree who ever ran this project was out of touch with the needs of the traveling public. They basically screwed up and just wasted a lot of money in the process.
From a lessons learned perspective the reality is the next time the CAA has to undertake a project of this scale again is 10-15 years out. By that point most people would have moved on to other projects. Having heads roll within the CAA is probably not helpful since they are not really in the terminal construction/design business.
