Does anyone have a complete list of the stations where UA was handling AC but does not do so any longer? I know BNA is one, but I think there are as many as 10-15 more.

AC stations that used to be handled by UA:
BOS (Now USAirways)
EWR (Now Delta)
DCA (Now Worldwide)
DEN (Now Lufthansa/IAS)
MCO (Now Servisair)
OGG (Now Hawaiian Airlines)
Although UA only handled BOS, EWR and DCA below the wing only because there are AC staff at those stations. UA handled DEN and MCO above and below the wing.
UA is currently ground handling AC in:
JFK
PHL
PBI
RSW
TPA
ORD
SEA
SAN
PHX
KOA
ANC
For the stations that are strictly Jazz, UA does AC's ground handling at:
IAD
CLT
MSP
MCI
STL
CMH
(I may have missed a couple of Jazz stations.)
UA handles AC above the wing and below the wing at all those stations except ORD and TPA where AC staff are above the wing.

UA was the AC/QK ground handler at MSY but is no longer for obvious reasons.
Also, I forgot, RSW used to be United but is now Servisair. So, you can add RSW to that list.
The Ground Handler at RDU and MKE is actually Air Wisconsin but that hasn't changed in a while from what I can remember.

Quoting LAXintl (Reply 10):
Air Canada self handles at LAX. (and happens to be part owner of an entire terminal)
It would sure be nice for connecting passengers if AC would locate a bit closer to the United gates like they did recently at SFO. Star Alliance should really do more to get its members in or near the same terminals.
At SAN I noticed that the United self check in kiosks have a new screen with both United and Air Canada check in options. Seems like the two airlines are getting closer.

Those kiosks were installed several months ago in Columbus, where United also handles all above and below-wing aspects of Air Canada Jazz operations, as previously mentioned.
Brakes released, steering in-op, you are clear to push.
