Serious JFK Ground Delays
All this week I've seen some long delays at JFK, but last night takes the cake. Due to storm cells in the area, I heard that there were 120 aircraft in line to depart....no exagerration.
Many aircraft were taxiing out, sitting for hours and returning to the gate because their crews were timing out.
Really wild stuff. I can only imagine what was going on up in the tower. I've never seen the taxiways that packed in my life.

believe me bro, i feel your pain! fridays are my mondays and i end up getting stuck at work into the wee morning hours. even the curfew which used to be our saving grace runs away and hides. i do think it's very humbling that while so many adavances have been made in aviation, nobody wants to go up against mother nature...
