the synergies of CO/UA and DL/NW are not going to be harmless/perfect. and MSY is the perfect example. CO's not moving. DL's not moving. my hopes were that DL would move, close the CRC and then CO would make it a PC. NOT happening. MSY is Huge for CO. but as it plays now, us CO'ers are stuck at the three seat bar near security. HP and B6 are gone. maybe they could do a PC in that area. that would be GREAT!
The staff there is really nice. I think that they know most of the regulars by name and will miss the PC members who use the SC.
MSY is huge for CO. The tourism is there but most folks don't realize the number of pax generated by the oil rig servicing businesses, which is why there are about the same number of flights each day MSY-IAH as IAH-EWR. Tomorrow there are 12 flights, 11 mainlline, with about 1500 seats. It's one of CO's larger non-hubs.

Any definitive word on DTW yet? All I've read here appear to be rumors.

I can provide more context to the FLL question.
US will *not* (thank goodness) be moving to T1. The airport is filling T1 West with Allegient (blech!) and Virgin America, who starts FLL service in November.
Whether or not AC moves to T1 is still up in the air.

DL lounge attendant said CO would be moving to North Terminal in January, and lounge access would continue until then. Not sure how reliable, but information nonetheless.

I asked in Terminal A at IAH the other day and it is unclear whether UA will be moving back over to the other side but it definitely is being discussed/negotiated. As the PC is on the other side, it would be nice if they did move. However, both sides will be linked to the new train.
Does anyone have a date for the train to open to Term A? Is there now a bus from the UA side connecting to CO without having to clear security until the train begins?
My guess now is that UA will not be moving back to the other side....where the PC is located. It appears that DL enlarged their checkin area on the side where they are (partly to accomodate the Alaska operations which they evidently are handling)...why would they enlarge over there if they were moving back to the other side?

On a different note, has there been any mention of CO passengers being able to use UA check-in kiosks and vice versa similar to what CO and NW did a few years ago?
