Agreed 100%. Even if there is no firm plan in place they ought to be constructing a subterranean station shell and access tunnel out towards the west as part of this rebuilding project is done. That way when LIRR, the PA or whatever it will be is serious about getting a nonstop airport express from Penn, or even more ambitious a super express to lower Manhattan via Atlantic Ave and a branch from TriboroRX, the terminal is there awaiting it. The same is true for LGA where they should at least be preparing a raw space under the complex for subterranean N/W or LIRR connection from the west. The AirTrain is a shortsighted politically expedient band-aid that will never live up to other better operational solutions.
