I don't particularly care for either option though. It seems the CTB replacement at LGA is going to proceed so the whole discussion is moot anyway.

not necessarily with a one-seat ride. all the airports require a transfer and lga will too, so thats not the big issue. the airport itself is the big issue, its too small and will cost a ton to rebuild the terminals anyway. why not put the fork in now and point toward the future with upgrading stewart or even islip? i do agree its moot though and if anything is going to happen it will be this current airtrain plan, then perhaps a full extension connecting the jfk/lga airtrains and then a rebuild of lga. thats how it will most likely go. a shame as its just not real forward thinking to pour so much effort into lga anymore (and i'm no lga hater, that is my fav of the local airports, so it pains me to say that).
