for a B74, you are into issues with hydraulic cooling but at least it is not going to be for long....
With bad wx, JFK is a mess both for arrivals and once arrived, on the ground. It is quite possible that the delays ont he ground end up with large fuel burns on the taxi in phase, like happened in LHR to MAS a long time back.
Having diverted from PEK and JFK, it is line ball as to which is worse, both can be entertaining. Only one of these places held us in the hold and then departed an aircraft through our airspace in the hold while we were completing a hyd failure checklist amongst other issues, jammed inbd TE flaps etc. JFK is an embarrassment, hardly a grand entrance into the new world via a 3rd world port with more in common with Lagos than LAX...
PS: guten tag 73NG...
