'Disaster': Travelers Decry '22-Hour' Delta Nightmare at JFK
A Delta flight that was supposed to leave John F. Kennedy Airport Wednesday afternoon en route to Los Angeles was still stuck on the Queens tarmac the next morning, prompting a flood of angry tweets from frustrated passengers who said they were stranded at the airport a stunning 22 hours. The plane, Delta flight DL0975, had been supposed to take off at 3:30 p.m. Wednesday. The airline's website shows it departing JFK at 9:20 a.m. Thursday. According to social media reports, passengers were… (www.msn.com) 기타...

NYC airports are the worst. Do my best to avoid them
It's amazing that after so many incredibly heinous episodes over the past few years, Congress hasn't put out any meaningful regulations to stop airlines from doing this to their passengers.
Yes, you are 'allowed' to exit the plane, but the airline is not REQUIRED to get you back on the plane before they leave. Only in America, right...
The duality of the FAA, both club, and support has made the airline industry in this country far too powerful. Including the manufacturers. The NTSB finds that the FAA has dragged their feet so many times, it's not funny any more...
I was 'stuck' once at the end of a runway at ORD, in a 777 waiting for weather to clear enough to leave. It was only about 45 minutes, and was excruciating. I can't imagine HOURS, let alone nearly a day. The Geneva Convention should come into play at some point. Good grief...

Maybe they should've taken off into the bad weather Robert. Would you have complained about that too? You should buy your own plane and fly yourself around. Seriously. It's way easier
While that jet sat on the ramp, DL would've had to make at least 2/3 crew changes. Some idiot at DL's JFK Ops couldnt figure out how to get the jet back to a gate or a remote stand?
Just another reason to avoid NYC area airports whenever possible. The weather issues in NYC are legendary. You'd think airlines would be better equipped.
It's not an airline matter as much as it is the overloaded space, even on a sunny wind-free day. I've said the same about ORD- all it takes is a bug to fart and the whole thing turns into gong show well, in a New York minute.
