You have got your maths wrong on your last post.
Sign on 0105 STA 1755 = 16:50 + 2:43 = 19:33
Yes the FDP was reduced from 18:00 to 17:15 and add your two hours = 19:15 Extended FDP, so an 18 minute overrun. NOT a massive EXCEEDANCE as you are implying. Also they could have been set to arrive well within the 19:15 but were delayed on the gound in JFK waiting for a bay and all sorts of little things could have added unforseen minutes, my bet is on ground handling in JFK. It can be very busy and you can taxy 240 degrees rather than 120 to get to your terminal and if you do not know what I mean by that then you have obviously never been to JFK.
