Probably sounds funny because it isn't at all true. Parked across stands 7 and 8 due to a problem with the airbridge on stand 9. If the airbridge is unusable it's difficult to get stairs onto the front door as the airbridge gets in the way so today's parking position was planned before arrival.

I found it interesting to learn that there is actually a stop line across stands 7 and 8, glad to know they've planned it all out at least
The A330 managed alright on stand 9 today though if I'm not mistaken

Yeah, the Balkan 330 was fine on 9 as the stand 9 centreline is far enough from the parked airbridge to still get steps on. The EK 777 parks on the stand 30 centreline though rather than the stand 9 centreline and this brings it closer to the parked airbridge making it too close to safely connect steps.

What's going on with the New York service at the moment, very poor on time performance for the outbound leg despite early arrivals most days?
Was the Balkan A330 a substitution or has it been upgraded from the usual A320?

I watched KL958 (11.10am) take off about 30 mins late yesterday at just after 11.40am on flightradar.
Flightstats said it took off "on-time" at 11.16am.
Some fiddling going on here or did something unusual happen between gate and runway?

Push and remote hold possibly? The gates are often needed for another flight so if you get a slot then you close up and push. This push may be on time however it goes off when the brakes are released. There's no way to stop it happening.
Either that or a tech problem.

Any insider knowledge on the run of late departures for UA? Noticed it was sat well after departure time yesterday as we were on our way. Flight Stats seems to show on time, if not early arrivals.
