ferris asks how I would feel if I had been the plane following and had to go around.
I would be proud to get out of the way of someone who had declared an emergency. and I am ready to do so at any time, unless of course I am in an emergency myself.
now, if the American Airlines pilot declared an emergency so he could meet a hot date and get a blow job, he will hear from me.
But if he was near his fuel limits, exceeding the crosswind limits and had notified center and approach prior to the business with tower, I am with him a hundred percent.
I make my living flying out of the New York area...granted mainly LGA and EWR but enough JFK to know the score there.
