JFK Thrust Reduction / Acceleration Altitudes
Could anyone give me a reference if the JFK Thrust Reduction / Acceleration Altitudes are 1500'/3000' AGL. My Company is insisting on using these values and I wonder where they picked this data from? Thanks!

Can only speak for UAL - our standard acceleration/noise abatement altitude is 800' AGL unless specifically otherwise specified 
- i.e. ICAO profile in Europe 1500 thrust redux/3000 acceleration or John Wayne SNA which is a complete law unto itself 
I dont believe JFK specifies ICAO profile - like Chicago they want you to get the hell out of there and accelerate!
