I take off out of IAD going to Europe and they keep us at 250 kts and in the mid 20s all the way up to NY… everyone asking for normal speed and higher… response “unable I’ll let you know”.

I see your China and raise you operating in/out of BOM during monsoon season. :D

I'm sure most of you have seen this already but this is too good not to post...

Take it for what it is worth (a whistleblower and the New York Post) but allegedly EWR was going to have zero staffing tonight. The story is confusing in how it is written though, so unclear if it is the Tracon or the tower (sounds like the Tracon).

Call for Kirby's IMMEDIATE resignation
 

Question: Has Kirby offered his resignation yet for the mess he turned EWR into?

It's not his fault. It's 40 years of a lack of investment by the FAA.

we have a CEO who turns the company into a juggernaut, and you want his resignation because of an FAA decision/issue?

Considering the previous administration oversaw the shift of the controllers to PHL and decades of presidential administrations have failed to upgrade the ATC technology, I see no reason to blame one bit of this on Kirby.
