This was something waiting to happen , it´s incredible how JFK controllers manage to get the airplanes to taxy to and from the active RWY´s, why don´t they get a GND RADAR and speak a little slower, specially with foreign airlines ,not all of us speak 100% English. If you have been to JFK then you know what I mean (XXX2345 where are you??).These guys are good , imagine how their workload will be reduced and how many $$$ they would save on the long term if they had a follow the green(so old yet so simple and effective) Lts and GND RADAR system .We must also agree that some carriers need an intensive english course as well.
