US Airways Dividend Miles (Pre-FlightFund Merger) - US taking some UA gates @ DEN, ORD?

http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/03339/247529.stm

Mike Boyd, who heads the Colorado-based aviation consulting firm, The Boyd Group, said a full merger doesn't make sense, but that he could envision US Airways, through its major investor, the Retirement Systems of Alabama, attempting to cherry-pick some of United's assets, such as gates at Chicago's O'Hare airport or at Denver International Airport. It would give US Airways a gateway to destinations in the West, Boyd said. And such a move would give United, which is still in Chapter 11, the funding it needs to emerge from bankruptcy.

The only reason that it could be construed as "taking" some UA gates is because US is vacating its old gates to move closer to UA operations.

US has moved into the North terminal at SEA, where all of UA's operations are (AC, too).

The US gates are already close (adjacent) to the United Express gates at ORD in Terminal 2. You just get the evil B/C hike like the UX passengers http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif.
