Folks taking a B6 int'l flight could be dropped off right in front of the TWA terminal. People connecting from a domestic city could utilize the walkways from the new T5. Everything's solved except for maybe space considerations with all that int'l equipment in the Saarinen building. And that walk way wouldn't be all the cheap, especially going under the existing one to T6's Airtrain station.
This would be a huge problem. The Saarinen building is actually rather small. And the walkways you suggest would be quite an ordeal to build. It would be rather long to get from the Saarinen building to T6. Even if it was integrated into T5 there would be issues with routing passengers from the gates there - even more than just getting them down to baggage claim in the existing building - that would make this a nonstarter, IMO.
