IMO, these are the better options, or within the parking garage. I have walked many times from F down to A in the garage with no problems.

As far as taking a cab from A to F, that's not going to work. The cab drivers don't even want to drive me home (I live 10 minutes from the airport, but outside the "center city" flat rate zone) - I have to haggle with them every time. They only get a certain number of airport runs a day, and they are not going to waste one driving from A to F, and then return back to the holding zone. From what I hear they sometimes can wait almost 2 hours for a fare, depending on how many taxis are waiting and the time of day.
