King Kamehameha had the same complaint. Then it got even worse.

What the other two said, I enjoy the Expressway to 31 and the view landing south at night is great. Plus the food is good. That being said if it's the penalty lap and the WX sucks LGA is the worst.

I almost forgot $1 coffee can't forget that.

I would not even consider leaving to anywhere else. I have over 1700 guys below me and will move up quickly in the next 8-10 years.
It will all be for naught once I work out the last tweeks of my human transporter machine....

And don't forget about the lost 747 jobs, they are parking those airplanes faster than guys are retiring, leading to a net surplus of senior pilots being displaced to lower paying A330 jobs.

Meanwhile...the MD-11 were content to switch our JV Scope measure from Seat Miles to Block Hours, which would make one of our 757's flying to Europe equal to a KLM/Air France A380 flying to ATL!

Don't forget to get the medium though, they charge full price for smalls and larges, as a captain I was flying with found out. LOL.

LGA is the bane of air travel. The short runways don't bug me, the visual approaches are fun, but once you're on the ground the sheer volume of stupidity assaults my senses from all directions. If there was a 1 car funeral, LGA could eff it up. Ramp, ground, and clearance drive me to drink.

They should spend $4b to sink the landfill and build a playground, not retrofit that turd.

The terminal is a disaster to me. I hate the terminal from the time I near Mike until whenever.

I like the expressway 31.

But I love visual 29 ewr.


My favorite in ewr was the ils 11 circle 22R. Right, not left, there was someone already on the left, so circle and land to 224)r, keep it tight and don't hit the AF 744 at whiskey.

Or land 29 but overhead the numbers on 4.

The coex atr guys had some Budweiser plant approach, I think shoot ils 22R, overhead airport and circle around to 11.
