DFW Terminal E Satellite open 3 May 2019
About 100 daily flights, mostly operated by Envoy linking DFW with regional American Eagle destinations such as Evansville, Ind., Harlingen and McAllen.
An Admirals Club is to open by the end of the year.
Concessions include a Dickey’s Barbecue Pit; a Whataburger is scheduled to in late May.
This will be an intermediate term solution while the new Terminal F, serving American and other airlines, is built; that is expected to take several years.
Fifteen new AA gates are in the newly opened Terminal E Satellite. It’s an extension of Terminal E, a small terminal building jutting out into the airfield on DFW’s east side. Travelers connecting to a flight at the satellite terminal must use an underground walkway, which is about 500 feet long but features moving sidewalks.
The entrance to the Terminal E Satellite is near gate E21.

What is the likelihood of a construction of Terminal F? DFW airport officials have publicly talked about it eyeing on future expansion and traffic growth at DFW. Even when DFW was opened in 1974 there was space for future expansion of two terminals at west side of the terminal, one of those space was used to construct Terminal D. When SkyLink opened in 2005 it was intentionally constructed to make circular path over parking lot located south of Terminal D so can accommodate construction of Terminal F in future.
Do AA want to commit for another terminal at DFW? Of AA rather keep finding addition al space at current terminal space?

B has been entirely regional from long before the merger. After the merger, L-US stayed at their legacy gates in E (E34-38, currently the OO Eagle gates.) until L-US was integrated into the AA gates. (I think there was an interim solution where US was sequestered into certain AA gates [Low-C, perhaps?] while the work groups were being integrated.)

Thanks to another AA MX delay I had about 4 hours to kill at DFW so I went to check out the new E satellite.
Moving walkways are already broken
What a sad looking concourse/terminal......only one real food place open and then vending machines.

Would it kill them to add a healthy vendor rather than this crap? I've never even been to a whataburger, chickfila, etc. They have an au bon pain in A and that's my normal go to. Every other place is not healthy.

Does anyone know who is responsible for determining what vendors go where? The DFW authority or whatever they are called? Does the airline have any input?

It is not specific to airlines and airport terminal, but it is know among food industry for long time. When it comes to health eating people talk and eat totally different thing. People talk about healthy food choice, but when it comes to actual eating people always choose differently. Food industry people know that for more then decades. People talk about healthy food choice, but if they open such healthy food choice then such business often do not do well as McDs or other conventional fast food, often not well enough to maintain the business. People talk and do totally opposite when it comes to healthy food choice

No kidding. It only takes a peek up from the line of 2 people I'm in at Au Bon Pain to see the line of 30 at Chick-Fil-A.
