Glad you got through so quickly. You were on Delta, and through in 30 minutes??? Were there people at the Delta check in desk, 4 hours before?? As others have reported there was no one there until 3 hours before.

As far as moving the plane, a pilot posted here that they would take the plane up to the terminal to begin with, even though people deplane down stairs, and then take the jetway out to the plane after, without moving the plane.

Regarding the executive lounge, that would be a good thing, to have that back again, after MORE than six years...
