I would imagine there is some space to do it for maybe like 12-15 additional gates? Could be nice opportunity to keep United Express out of Terminal 1 and have it be for the other US carriers so they can continue to expand operations without UA hogging gates up (which we all know they're eventually going to do once it opens.)
No chance. United is the largest T1 tenant by a considerable margin, and it won’t be an all-Express operation. Pre-COVID, I believe the plan was to mostly integrate UAX and mainline operations at EWR and grow into a more mainline-heavy mix.
