you guys haven't been thru JFK lately...otherwise you'd have nothing to complain about.
in the last two flights from JFK to LAX, there were at least 20-40 other a/c waiting in line to take off. landing is also another matter...having to cross over the Van Wyke.
but then again, the drive around McCarron at LAS is also pretty lengthy. i always wondered why they could not just drop us off along the strip.
