PRM at JFK?
So I am sitting here watching the PRM video for recurrent and began to think why doesnt JFK have PRM approach. It seems to me that the problem with JFK is that even though they have several runways they only use 2 at a time, one for landing and one for takeoffs and once in a while they will use 31L KK and 4L/22R for takeoffs but that still means they are only landing on 4R/22L.
If they got PRM's to 4/22 they would be able to land twice as many aircraft and and then use 31L KK for departures.
What do you all think?

Lately it seems that they have been flowing the aircraft pretty well. During the arrival pushes, they'll land 13L & 22L/4R and depart 13R; or land 4s/22s and depart 31LKK.
Then during departure pushes they'll depart 22R/4L &31LKK and land 22L/4R or depart 13R & 22R/4L and land 13L.
I don't believe PRM would work as well here as it does ATL and the others that use it regularly because both aircraft/crews must be PRM certified, and I don't think most of the intl carriers are.

It is doable.

The paint job was white, which helps even more.

The only thing that JFK gives me is a nice surprise in the paycheck on the 15th of every month. And for that brief moment of time, I am happy. Otherwise, it doesn't matter if I go out at 8 am or 8 pm or any time in between it is delay city.

Reason being is because you can spit from JFK and violate the approach path of both LGA and EWR all in one lugie. That whole area is a huge puzzle piece. You monkey around with one piece (i.e. JFK) and the ripple effect at LGA, EWR and HPN lasts for HOURS.
