Just wondering if this is an Airbus issue or something to do with JB procedures? Today on my flight JB cost everyone else about 5 minutes of gas. This could be huge if this happens on a regular basis as the heavies are really burning Dinosaurs sitting at idle.
Just wondering.....
How long does NW, co and USA take to get their #'s....
not so often in jfk simply because the taxi is so long, but in some other airports it seems as if they are waiting for fedex to deliver the WB.
"Maybe" some passenger had to crap their pants in the back?
