There have been 3 posts that I consider solid and helpful in the case, too many in my opinion bear a fowl taste of patriotism and protectionism.
Who appointed you to make such profound judgments? I didn't defend the chaos that is typically JFK, rather I stated that fact. I also stated that I have come to a stop many times at JFK and many other airports over the years when there was any doubt whatsover about wingtip clearance.
Since you didn't include me in your esteemed list, I presume my observations and operating procedures must have been in your "fowl" (foul) taste category.
I am at a loss to understand your logic.
