Not sure where else they would go. They were kind of forced out of C because B6 needed the space. Massport basically begged CO to move to A to begin with. Maybe they reshuffle to put them closer to UA, but I'd be a bit surprised. I mean, UA and US have never been in the same terminal, and I doubt there is much demand for UA-CO connections, so I can't see a compelling reason for them to move.
I fly out of BOS and I know a lot...This is what DL needs to do:
-Get Massport approval to demolish the cargo terminal right next to Terminal A, and build 5 or 6 gates there, re-number gates
-Trade the daily A333 that goes to AMS to a 753
-Keep one customs gate in Terminal E as DL will fly to AMS, BDA, and CUN
-Move Continental to the remaining gates in Terminal E w/o customs
-Delta dominates Terminal A, and re-start BOS-LAX
