American and its One World partners will use T2 for int'l arrivals, but the majority of the American domestic departure and arrival flights will operate out of T3. The majority of United's domestic departure and arrival flights will operate out of T1's concourse B, concourse C, and the new satellite #2. United's concourses A and B are much roomier and nicer than T3, and it seems United will be the main tenant for the new satellite #2, which should be nicer than all of the other concourses.
I have not seen any details, but I am guessing American and United's int'l departures will not be limited to just T2.
Unless you are flying int'l on American (which is slowly shrinking), you most likely won't even experience the new T2. American has been slowly downsizing their ops at ORD, especially int'l. Their passengers will experience an inferior "hard" product at ORD once T2 is done giving their passengers another reason to switch to United. As an Executive Platinum flyer for AA for years this is really disappointing.
