Also, read your NOTAMs before push back. You need to know every one of the 13 pages of NOTAMs for LGA and JFK>
Plenty people took off with a questionably strong tailwind this morning. We calculated it at 13kts (tailwind, based off of the current tower report). Yet we were the only ones that refused to take off and waited for them to fit us in off of 31L. Eventually after another 12 planes (a couple that looked familiar also) took off and then they switched the airport around and let us depart.
Be Safe!
