T2 is landside and the 1st satellite will be directly connected to T1's remote concourse. You don't really need the people mover until the 2nd satellite comes online. At that point I imagine they would just continue digging the tunnel to the west and build a small, temporary check-in facility (pickup/dropoffs only, no checked bags). Basically just a few electronic kiosks for each airline and then a security screening.

From what I remembered. The timeline was this:
Terminal 5 Expansion:
Break ground 2019
Completed in 2021
Sattelite Concourses for Global Terminal:
Break ground 2022
Completed in 2024
Demolish Existing Terminal 2
Global Terminal
Break ground 2024
Completed in 2028
Then again, these dates could easily be delayed with the pandemic.
