IMO DFW was the least odd choice of any. AA had just beefed up (yet again) their domestic network, and the AJB means both carriers consider themselves as one on TATL itineraries. So the A380 was intended to provide a trunk flight between the two biggest AJB hubs, with good connections at either end. In other words, exactly what the aircraft was built for.
