EWR C is down a long way on the list of terminal improvements needed at UA hubs. Maybe OTG can put a down payment on a 'permanent' IAD C with the MWAA?
This. Terminal A needs to be bulldozed and completely rebuilt. If they're going to keep the pier-style, they need to be connected airside (its rediculous that connecting UA to AC or vice-versa requires one to go through security again, and in the case of connecting to AC, no lounge access).
I've never found the current options in EWR C to be bad. In fact, even for flights out of terminal A, I usually clear security in C, then eat or use the lounge there, then take the bus over. The minimal vending options in A are a disgrace.
Then there's IAD. Perhaps they can come up with a plan to actually build a terminal C within the vicinity of the train station for it.
Luckily for me, I've usually ended up connecting in ORD.
