Well said, mate! God forbid (this is big coming from an atheist) if these Third World airliners/pilots have to fly the Expressway Visual in to LGA. Then LGA ATC would be fault
It's not only "third world airlines" that struggle in JFK. Plenty of First World ones do too. You might want to consider that every airport in the US has a totally different way of doing things, which is fine if you are in and out of there 4 times a day but a challenge when you've just flown for 12 hours and you go there once a year, if that. There's only so much that a written brief can prepare you for. Add into that mix air traffic controllers who think they are amazing and are not, who think that shouting at people on the radio is normal and are dealing with more planes than they are capable of dealing with: not a great start to a low stress approach.
