Several months ago, CO abandoned its gates in the E concourse at Chicago O'Hare and joined UA in concourse B. Last week, UA left their gates in concourse B at Cleveland-Hopkins and joined CO in concourse C.
Is there a schedule for merging CO and UA gates at DEN, IAD, IAH, LAX, and SFO and other airports where they are physically separate such as BOS, MIA, MCO, MSY, TPA, PHL, and YYC?

At DEN, all CO flights depart and arrive in the United Terminal (B). Though I think this started once CO was in Star Alliance. US Airways uses these gates too. They are on the far western end of DEN.
On that note, I figure much of the system is somewhat integrated due to the fact that both airlines are a part of Star Alliance.

United has moved to Terminal C at IAH as of last week.
Continental is likely not moving anywhere at LAX, due to T6 being a short airside walk from T7 and lack of room in T7/8. UA used to have a presence in T6 until not too long ago, and still has their elite check-in counters at T6.

I saw a chart someplace (FT?) that listed the locations and dates of the gate relocations, IIIRC most that were scheduled prior to the merger announcement have been completed with a couple still pending (MCO, EWR, IAH).

EWR looks easy on paper but it might be more complicated then it looks. UA/CO would then control A-1, A-2, a few gates in a A-3, some international arrivals in B-2 and B-3 and all of terminal C. Going by that, they control majority of the gates in the airport and they might have to give up some depending of what the Port Authority feels. My guess is they might have to up their presence in A-3 (US/AA gate area) and A-1 and just keep A-2 for COEX flights. That way A-1 will be AS, AC, and move B6 from A-2 to A-1, US/AA in A-3, and DL in B-1. That is one perspective at least.
BOS would be interesting but going by the fact that CO is located in the DL terminal, (which is super new and nice btw) but I think would eventually move to the 6-7 gates UA has in terminal C. UA used to have a lot more flights into BOS and was utilizing this area a lot better back in the late 1990s. Since UA at BOS just has flights to IAD, ORD, SFO, DEN and LAX, I think they could squeeze the EWR, IAH and CLE flights in there as well.

You'd think.
But at BOS CO is in the concourse with DL and UA is in the concourse with B6 and FL. At IAD CO is in the B concourse with AA, B6, DL, FL, and VX and UA is in the A, C, and D concourses. at DCA CO and UA are physically separated with different TSA facilities-- the same at YYC.

At EWR once CO/UA merge I can see CO moving the Connection Q-400/DH-8-200 flights to UA's former gates at A-1, that would combine the Express and Connection flights at Terminal A. At BOS I think I remember reading that the Boston Port Authority does have the availability to take more gates than they did from DL at Terminal A, the Boston Airport authority is very happy with B6's expansion I can see them being agreeable to CO/UA combining at Terminal A and B6 acquiring the former UA gates at Terminal C. DL could consolidate to the airside concourse at Terminal A, and CO/UA could operate the land side gates.
That would give DL 10 mainline gates, and UA about 8 mainline gates. Plus they share the regional jet parking positions.

Yep, at IAH they are now on the north concourse - C18-C21. As a sidenote - UA 757s will be back on the IAH schedules for the winter, looks like on ORD/DEN/ and the inbound SFO.

jetBlue now takes up part of the UA concourse. If CO were to move in, i'd think that area could get crowded. UA has around 25-30 daily flights while CO averages 20ish. Combined they'd be at 45-50 so 7 gates could be a stretch. Perhaps Massport could kick FL out of C40-42, move them to where CO is in A, while B6 gets the 3 ex-FL gates.

Quoting Cubsrule (Reply 11): Why? There is space in B for CO/UA and all current flights without moving any carriers.
CO is already in Terminal A, with Offices, branded gates and a Presidents Clubroom. None of those exist at Terminal B, and would have to be built/developed. That's why moving both carriers to Terminal B, where neither carriers have a presence, is more challenging than moving UA to Terminal A where CO is already established.

It's certainly more difficult for CO, but I don't know that it's the more difficult option for Massport. Moving to B essentially requires moving "stuff" (a terribly imprecise term, but one that encompasses everything physical you've listed) for two carriers. I can't think of any other move that requires less than that. I'm relatively certain there is not room for all current operations plus UA's current operations in A.

Star Alliance Partner USAirways has a whole parcel of gates -- as far as I can see, some *are* underutilized. CO, UA, and US in the same area of B concourse makes sense.
That said, USAir's main wing (gates 5 to 14) *seriously* needs to be repainted and refreshed.

At TPA, CO is at Airside A and UA is at Airside E. Airside E is a few years newer, however there is no room to expand. It seems logical that UA/CO would use Airside A, which could allow Delta to possibly expand at E. From what I have heard, it can get a bit crowded at the DL gates since the merger. Both airsides are nice, modern facilities.

There are a few issues that make a United move to Terminal A unlikely, while a move to Terminal C much more likely:
First off, Massport can grab up to 9 gates at Terminal A to be reassigned from Delta as part of their bankruptcy/bailout/yada yada agreement. However, it is spelled out in the agreement that of those 9, 6 are to be mainline/jetway gates (Continental has four of these), 3 are to be in the RJ parking area (Continental has two of these 7).
United could likely have a compelling case to make to grab the rest of those gates (two mainline, one RJ), but what purpose would it serve? I believe (not 100% sure) that the gates that can be reassigned are all in the main terminal area and not on the satellite, which is problematic as the main terminal cannot handle 757s (which UA has many going into Boston each day), let alone 767s which do sub a bit. So, if they were to theoretically grab two more gates, you'd have a split operation, with two gates on the satellite and four in the main terminal - just to accommodate your 757s (and that drops down to one available gate when a 767 is parked there).
Even there, it would be a tight fit with the amount of mainline that UA/CO runs though Boston - six gates for around 45 flights a day is over 7 departures a gate at an airport that can halt to gridlock with weather - which is quite common.
Meanwhile, over in Terminal C, in current UA land, you have:
-10 gates, one of which can handle a 777, multiple of which can handle 757s
-your own private pier (JetBlue isn't in that pier...)
-RCC of similar size to the PC
-likely lower rent costs
If Massport really wanted to get room for JetBlue, they could without hemming in United at Terminal A and leaving them in Terminal C. Moving AirTran back to their old gates in the former D would be a start or moving them into A would clear up the C40s pier for JetBlue.
However, despite what Massport might be drooling over, I tend to think UA stays in Terminal C. The proposal of moving the combined carrier to B is a bit dubious as well but might work...
I'm going to have to dig to find the exact details, as part of the negotiated deal DL worked out with Massport over DL's default vis a vis their obligations to Terminal A, DL was required to agree to several terms. One of those involved DL giving up gates at Terminal A, the deal involved more than the 4-5 gates CO would later lease from Massport. CO only needed 4-5 for their operation and Massport could not get any other airlines to commit to more so they agreed to let DL keep the gates they were unable to lease. However, as I mentioned and the article alludes to Massport does have rights to come back for more gates at Terminal A.
It's going to take a lot of digging, but the details are out there somewhere.
DL can easily consolidate to the 10 airside gates (plus the land side RJ parking positions), giving UA 8 land side gates (plus rj parking positions).
It's the most cost effective (Massport paid for CO's move to Terminal A), plus it gives B6 the gates for expansion at Terminal C. At Terminal A CO has already establish it's infrastructure (Presidents Club, airline offices etc..), all of these would need to be built at Terminal B plus the expense of moving.

While DL has added NWA don't forget they dropped Song, so their gate utilization has probably not increased that significantly since the deal was struck.

I would think Option A would be more challenging since the gates are so limited.
If CO/UA move in with US, it could work with some revisions. US no longer has the Caribbean ops out of BOS, so it will help free up some gates for the morning originator push.
What I think could happen if Option B is chosen:
-Move VX/NK to Terminal A.
-Utilize AE's old remote parking gates for 9L/AC/US/UA/CO express operations. If AC desires something closer for competitive purposes, they can use the two RJ size gates next to gate B21 (using Google Maps for reference here). This will help free up jetway space for the mainline flights.
