I assume that thought process is that the new terminal processing building and then the new security building they build after that still has a processing limit that will be reached once they finish the new concourse B and the subsequent C where the current tower is. This is already accounting for a new International customs building between the rental car garage and the east runway that will connect to the BJT. The south side of the airpot is already limited by private and military aviation. The southern terminal and attached concourse (E) would be the narrowest concourse of them all because of it.
Also, every know knows that high speed rail is going to be hard. As I said, if it happens then it could push the expansions out as it would affect demand. Everyone here is fully aware that high speed rail in this country is obviously facing a lot of burdens. However, the eventual opening of the California line as well as TxDot's new position at looking ahead to rail development are reasons you can be hopeful. That's not saying that it will happen. I love this groups tenacity to actually each other but you know, IF doesn't mean, It Will.
