Ok, afternoon delays trying to get to Newark are epidemic. I know LaGuardia and JFK are no exception, but it seems like Newark is worse than the other two. I've always been under the impression that it's simply a volume issue, exacerbated by any winds and weather, but the explanations on some days, (particulary those in which the entire eastern seaboard is calm and severe clear) don't seem to add up. Even LAX and ORD don't seem to have the trouble we do.
ATC gurus, can you give us a few words about EWR/LGA/JFK? Do I just need to have a Coke, a smile and shut the hell up, or are there other problems at play up here?
