Jump to postso JFK-SKB/BZE make a lot of sense. It just completes their Caribbean map. I've lost track of which airports they don't serve.

I would think DFW would want a headhouse for all other international carriers. Keep AA at D and move all other foreign flags to F. But it seems DFW is pandering to AA.
