Though I think in this situation, it would make sense for CO to move to the UA area. There is a RCC there.
I just do not see CO moving from its gates at DCA. CO has the best gates - since they are quick pull in gates - not a pier with complicated backing out. Not enough gates over in pier B anyway - AA is there too.
All the club space is expensive at DCA - that is why NW did not want to move since they own the space at DCA - Terminal 1 (old terminal).
AA and UA have clubs in pier B. DL is alone in its location - but there is space for another club there.
The gates in the old, historic terminal have not opened and not sure when they will open. The plan was to tear down the NW pier and extend the gates across the historic terminal. Now with Spirit and AirTran in the NW pier - who knows.
It could be possible to add the gates in the historic terminal and have UA move there - next to CO and expand the DCA club there - there is room - as the original plan was for NW to move over next to CO in the historic terminal gate area and the DCA PC club would be a combo CO/NW. But NW did not want to move - to pay the high fees.
The big question is - how will NW and DL consolidate at DCA?
