Alrighty, it seems that after the "high profile" near misses in the past few weeks, it seems like both departures and arrivals are starting to REALLY stack up.
Seemingly, and of course I don't have the data to show, but last year was a scene out of "Dante's Inferno", this year seemed like a massive improvement, but in the last few weeks, it seems like taxi times are way up and the "Conga Lines" have gotten much longer and slower.
Have there been procedural changes or is it managerial with too many Chiefs and too few Indians to do the work?
Any insight will be more than appreciated.
And if it's something discrete you don't want on the internet, a PM would be appreciated. You tell me what speed you want to the marker, or intersection takeoffs, we'll call it evens-stevens.

Lots of flights from across the pond. Was bad because none of the pax could deplane because of the lack of a sufficient sized custom/ immigration and the lack of gate space. The ramps in SYR looked like a crazy parking lot full of the major players. Several Delta 75/ 76's, USAir had many 76's and an A330 parked. AA and CAL had their share of heavies parked as well. A KLM 747 dropped by for a couple hours too....Sweet, don't get to see those landing in SYR often. The rampers were pulling their hair out.....since most of the ramp service at the airport is contracted by Landmark. Those guys/ gals were über-busy and running around like crazy.
