LOL, no, the Samoa was likely medium well. They aren't that rare, as I have another 6 boxes.

JFK was a mess yesterday. Already having operational challenges due to 13L-31R being refurbed, but usually that leaves 3 runways to handle traffic. Due to high winds from the West, the tower disallowed use of 4L and 4R. Therefore, all traffic for the entire airport was using 13R. I was on DL2950 JFK-SEA, left the terminal at 6:15pm, finally airborne around 8pm. We used 4L as a parking lot to queue, at one point 24 aircraft in line for departure.
I heard it was much worse for inbound aircraft as they had them just wait at the departure point until after the afternoon rush of departing planes (sounds like it was hours of waiting). Definitely would cause a lot of IRROPS, but glad that worked out to your benefit!

the seat map for my JFK-IAD was ~50% open, which may have contributed to why they stole that jet to make up the PIT flight ... the rest of my story is in the "SkyClub agents are powerless" thread

We had a somewhat bumpy final descent and landing onto 22L. Pushed back more or less on time for JFK-BWI ^

I don’t think anyone save the Groan-bestower can make that determination

Family together in BE?
Does DL make any effort to keep mom and kids together in BE. We are taking short flight JFK/DCA, just trying to keep cost down. Any way, will they be all over the cabin or will DL seat them toigether? TIA.

How many kids and how old are they? Also, is father or other adult traveling too?
