I do agree that, at least initially, the fantasy crack huffing international EGO carriers will barf capacity into pretty much every large US market. They have to because they need to put their insanely over ordered EGO planes somewhere.
Not all of these carrier have to be foreign.
Also DFW has seven runways, all of which can be used simultaneously. The only thing they may need to add over the next ten years is another international terminal. Of course that will depend on AMR and their end state level of lift out of DFW after CH11 and a possible merger/fragmentation. The DFW airport does not want to have the end result what it is today; AMR with 85% of the lift out of the airport.
