Avoid EWR in Sept
"Jim Anderson" wrote in message ... "Not the Karl Orff" wrote in message ... In article , "Jim Anderson" wrote: Question... Granted it's a 24 hour airport, but you'd think they could do the work at night minimizing some of the delays... Anyone have any info as to why this isn't at option at EWR? union rules/ overtime pay? Doubt it. They do work on the NJ Turnpike and GS Parkway at night to minimize traffice delays. Different organization. EWR is managed by the Port Authority of NY and NJ, a bistatal organization. NJT and GSP by a NY organization. EWR has always been the poor step child of the Port Authority. dennis |

Avoid EWR in Sept
I missed the first part of this thread and can't seem to find it on my news
server -- but to comment: I made a connection at EWR on Monday (9/8) and I would agree completely that avoiding EWR this month would be wise (if possible). One of the major 'N/S' runways is closed for re-paving which is causing both arrival and departure delays. On Monday evening arrivals were coming in on the one open 'N/S' runway from the south to the north and most departures (other than a few heavies) were departing on the cross-wind runway to the E. My inbound was delayed 30 mins b/c of the runway situation and then my connecting flight was delayed as well waiting for the inbound a/c to arrive and again getting out to the runway for t/o. Our departure was on the cross-wind runway to the east, which was a new one for me (as I'm used to the N/S pattern that is typically used at EWR between the two parallel runways). Best, Steve |
