When American Airlines first began storing planes at DFW, one area that could be seen from a live cam was the Southwest area of the line-up and wait area. Today, there were none stored in the area. As most of you know, the departing time is the moment your plane is pushed back for the gate. Forget the fact that it will talk 5-10 minutes to taxi from Terminal D (International Terminal) to the line-up and wait area. Then, you could be as much as 14 in line to take off. In the airport's defense, that time can vary depending on the type of plane that will be talking off. You don't line up a regional jet behind a 777 or a 787 and expect the time to be only a couple of minutes. The wake turbulence from the larger planes have separation times tagged to them. And you better hope that if a A380 is in the mix, that there is an open runway parallel to the west side runways. Construction is underway for new taxiways and lighting and a the new peripheral taxiways for both the 17's on the east side.The 18's are on the west side where Founders Plaza is located.
With that said, it's good to see more planes arriving and departing at the International Terminal again.
