This is spot on. I work with these people. They're not going to fly out of Newark. Period, end of discussion.
We're not going to agree here, which is fine. But I would debate #1 (which is related to #5 - not disputing #5, but the Van Wyck is also a nightmare) and #4 (Terminal C). #3 I already agreed with. I'll give you #2 as well
