just out of curiosity, what kind of flying time, circling and secondary airport range are you building in?

Sure it can go straight, but I've seen "credible" estimates on CX's birds that would indicate with 30 minutes circling time and 200nm range built in for a secondary airport diversion, EWR/JFK is indeed near the limit
