The thunderstorms are real. ZNY and ZBW keep closing departure gates. Idk if it still is but all westbound departures (biggy/lanna/parke/zimmz/newel) and most of the north gates for the previous hour I was in there were all stopped.

Sheeee … don’t forget the REALID requirement starts tomorrow (07May). I’m skeptical it will amount to much disruption at this point, but still is another ferret with a gun in the situation.

If they are going international, then they have passports and it's no big deal.

@NovemberEcho , I changed my mind. Delay us as much as possible.

EWR only. We are completely unrelated to PHL ops other than sharing a room.

Just curious, did EWR TRACON only move to PHL, or all of the big airports including LGA and JFK move there as well?

Prior to this, was EWR sharing a building with LGA/JFK if they were in the same room? What was the reasoning for the move? I may recall something about cost of living for NY vs PHL, it can't remember if that was the reason or there were other reasons.
