I know that JFK is busy and the controllers are the best, but EVERYONE makes mistakes, especially under a heavy work load such as the international push (which is the time this occurred). If you have been in JFK a lot, you have surely heard a controller make a mistake. Especially the ground controllers that have to deal with Olympic, Freedom, Saudi, Iberia, TAM, and other non-English speaking crews every day. The controllers earn their paychecks there every second that they work.

In your List of the airlines above you forgot to Mention Comair... they have and Do Make errors too, Maybe I am nit picking the way you pose your question cause it seem like Flame anyway have fun.. Maybe during your Next MV this will be a First Look item..
