No idea if this is still the plan but putting it out there FWIW.
Thanks for sharing that intel. Interesting that was their take. I'm not sure how it would still connect to a new C/D terminal unless the new terminal looks more like a cross. That said, at least United is still thinking about a new C/D terminal.
