One option was basically taking over half of the T terminal and using the existing (tiny) RCC as a lounge there. I don't know what the other option was, but I cannot imagine them getting additional gate space out in D where CO has gates now for UA to move to. Or they could just stay put as is. They're inside the same security so it isn't too big a deal. They could consolidate check-in desks and keep the gates, for example, and get a bit of efficiency without too much trouble.
