IAD should be expanded - EWR is the real problem in the network on many levels.
AA in DFW and the former US in PHX might argue differently about southern locations and east/west connections, but no doubt about the local economy. Unfortunately for Houston (and all of the oil-rich South), the bloodletting is only partially through.
