It doesn't help that airtrain only gets you as far as those 2 stops at the end of the A train or Jamaica terminal for the LIRR. Even after your 4.50 ride on airtrain you still have another hour or so into Manhattan. If they had followed the original proposal and built it as a connector JFK -> LGA -> Penn station (or some other central location) I bet ridership would be way up.
