Either weather in EWR or some VIP visiting their gilded tower in midtown and screwing up the most valuable airspace in the known universe. You think its possible to get something better than "ATC, hur dur" out of anyone?
Personally, I'm fine: it's business travel on my $799/year AMEX. My client would pay, my company would pay, AMEX would pay. It won't get as far as AMEX. I'm not home regardless, and my client doesn't seem the excited type. Hotels are hotels.
