CO and US are scheduled to move into T3, so getting the pier isn't in question. Opening a club in the AA AC space is an entirely different question though. The RCC in T3 tends to be pretty crowded early mornings and late afternoons already, so adding the CO and US pax to the mix would be interesting if they don't open another club.

New terminal opening this fall and a new PC is being built there to replace the existing one. Of course things can change, but with the new terminal, CO and UA will be behind the same security, so RCC members would be able to access it (prior to any gate consolidation). Even though we now have a couple of RJs to IAH, there are still a lot of flights, and the current PC has more traffic now then it ever has. I'm sure that will factor in any decision to close it.

I wouldn't be so sure about that. With CO's LatAm service (and marketing), LAX is probably a hub slated for growth, so they'd want to hang onto that T6 club.
I believe UA has the master lease on some of the T6 gates they're subleasing to other carriers.
SFO PC is most definitely toast. Question is whether they'll open a new club in the T3 AA AC space if they get that pier.

I do believe that UA gave up some of the rights to T6 a few years ago since the city of LA was accusing them of under utilizing the facility. I can't remember what they got in return, but they did get something.
T6 is currently the misfit terminal with all the random airlines flying in there and I'm sure DL would love to get it's hands on more gates there if they could.

The New UA will probably try to eliminate FLL and PBI like they did in the past. After the local media gets wind of all the anti-merger protests down there, the new company will likely lose what's left of its market share and be forced to cede the market to US, DL, and AA.
I'd be surprised if we see any more than an RJ or two in FLL and PBI in a year.

EWR-FLL is a very busy market, espeially in the winter, I doubt it would be cut. FLL-IAH does good too as does FLL-CLE. United flew CLE-FLL in the 1970's and even used DC-10's in the winter.

Said shuttle between PBI and FLL will be available on super-cheap very restricted fares, and the Greyhound will be called the Riff-Raff Express. Veggie burgers will be served onboard.

And the ELR seats will include AC as the "standard" seats will only have paper fans.
