Did it work? If so, I’d say “problem solved”

ZNY gets some crap but every time I’ve ever had to call them I’ve found my issue was dealt with promptly and professionally. Maybe a bit rougher around the edges than ZBW but I like the NY accents I hear.

My favorite NYC ATC thing was when JFK GND was talking to an Air France, who asked Ground where he wanted him to go. Ground keys up and is like "Well Id like for you to be in France, but thats not an option right now so taxi via ......". Wish we could get away with stuff like that out here haha.
In all seriousness N90/the NYC area pushes a ton of traffic through less than zero space. Super impressive and if I didnt have to convince my better half to move with me to Long Island, I'd seriously want to give it a shot.

Yeah but I think by that point the TCAS has kicked in and issued an RA
Autothrust Blue
“If you jump on my shift, that’s just rude, man.”
"Oh, Iberia, you're unable to do anything in that airplane [A346] of yours..."
"JetBlue! Gotta pen? 212-(etc)."
And, of course, JFK Ground dealing with Air China.

NY provides some comic relief when the foreign carriers arrive. Had an A380 tell JFK they needed a runway 4L when they were landings 22's. The A380 told them a tailwind was unacceptable. ATC, without missing a beat, said turn xxx RV to your alternate. The A380 crew then said we are telling our boss and he will be calling you. ATC was OK, descent and maintain... We were laughing my butt off...

was it Speedbird? Please tell me it was Speedbird. I love disappointing those arrogant pricks.

I'd guess Emirates, those guys aren't allowed to make a decision because they almost crashed two A380s.

Ramp it’s usual mess in EWR last Thursday, a couple United heavies are moaning about not having a gate ready for them..
Ramp: Your gate is occupied
UA: They’ve only known when we’d get here for 10 hours
Ramp: (think of a grammar school teacher losing it, loudly) I DON’T WANT TO HEAR IT! Commutair 4456 romeo fox to the gate....

wish he would have reminded the UAL pilot that it’s his company that books 125% capacity to prevent anyone else from getting space
