Not sure if anyone has noticed the construction going on at DCA between the old and the new terminal. This is where TWA was at one point (and some other airline I believe). He said there will be more gates eventually.

Right now US west (HP) is in terminal B with Delta. US is trying to get AC to move over there however, UA subleases the gates that AC is currently at. Not sure if UA will allow US to sublease those gates or not. US is also trying to get AC to switch ticket counters with US west (HP). The ticket counter switch does look like it will happen according to him. The gates is another story. UA only uses 2 gates at DCA however, they actually have 4 leased gates subleasing 2 of them to AC.
