Why is CAL switching terminals in DFW

[BLWME]

whats up with that, are they getting cosey with DL

This is the first I've heard of that, but it makes sense. CO/DL/NW are now in a three-way alliance and I'd suspect they want to make it as convenient as possible for code-share passengers. NW is already in Delta's Terminal E at DFW and with CO there anyone connecting at the DL hub using code-share flights won't have to leave security and change terminals. (E Terminal is not connected inside security to the others at DFW.)

Some of the other hubs of the three have all gates accessible without leaving the secured area ... ATL, MSP, CLE, MEM. It makes me wonder if similar moves aren't coming for DL at IAH and DTW, and CO and NW at CVG.

If you're gonna code-share, might as well make it as easy as possible for the folks. My girlfriend traveled on the NW/CO codeshare a few weeks ago transiting MSP and reported the experience to be seamless.

very good points.

No, I heard the DFW Airport Board is the one doing the shuffling of the airlines and their locations.

They are approaching several airports that I know of regarding locations of gates and ticket counters. Looks like some shared resources going on with the new code share. Look for more of this system wide as shared systems become more popular. The day isn't far off where the ticket counter is contracted and it won't matter which counter you go to.
