There are a few more than 4.

UA - EWR & IAD
DL - JFK & ATL
AA - ORD & JFK & CLT
VS - MCOx2 plus LAS (I think!)
PK - JFK and maybe ORD?

Plus, direct flights to MIA and LAX start next year.

So, how would all these get into T3 at the same time (they all leave in the morning)?

It would be better to shift all the USA flights to T2 which may just about have the capacity (it's busy in the morning, ghost town in the afternoon). This would mean that AA and BA would be separated - but how many people actually connect? Next to none I'd guess.
