The NW gate area at BOS Term E is pretty bad. The NW WC is also not well placed.
CO's deal is with MASSPORT not DL, DL was forced to give up gates in Terminal A during their bankruptcy when it became clear they were not going to be able to pay MASSPORT. MASSPORT thus took six gates and signed a lease with CO for those gates, DL has no authority with regards to the leases held on those gates. DL and NWA could merge tomorrow but that still would not alter the lease CO has on those gates, as the lease is with MASSPORT who owns those gates.
NWA could have negotiated to lease those gates, however they also were in bankruptcy and not in position to move into the better digs at Logan.
