Flaps62...Yep, it is not without some degree of irony that JFK is now known to many of our outfit's Eastern Seaboard regulars as "Lagos-West".

I can accept it's a busy place and know that the ATCers are under a hell of a lot of pressure but whenever somebody decides using 13R for departure and the 22's for arrival they are setting themselves up for the sort of "event" described in the first post (and I accept that decision is probably buried in the midsts of time or whenever it was the preferential runway allocation was decided).

Standing by to be flamed by the "come to the States then you should bring your A game" brigade.
