They already built JFK Airtrain, however, and the rolling stock it uses is quite incompatible with LIRR/NYCT rolling stock.

If they did eventually build a tunnel between Lower Manhattan and LIRR's FBA terminal, preferably it should be a double decker arrangement, with LIRR on one level and NYCT on another.

That would take care of your AirTrain plans too: whether from the ESA terminal, NYP, or a new Lower Manhattan terminal (which hopefully would see NJT trains coming in from the west). Take LIRR to Jamaica, and get on the AirTrain there at that massive complex the PA built overhead. No need to manufacture fancy rolling stock capable of running with linear induction and third rail, incompatible signal systems, ZPTO v. manned operation, wasted dinky two car JFK Airtrains taking up capacity, etc.
