Statisticly, I am going to have to disagree with the premis that it is airport configuration. It is the airlines. Between 0700 and 0930 JFK is a mad house. Again from 1800 to 2200 it gets the same way. Everyone wants to go at the same time, it is driven by market demand. In the last few years JFK has made tremendous improvements in their air traffic and delay management. Your not going to get additional runways but people are going to complain. Short of bulldozing LGA or EWR, the problem will remain status quo. You couldnt improve JFK operations by many stretched beyond what is being undertaken at the moment. Than, you have the factor of summer weather. Due to PHL and EWR's locations, RBV becomes the proverbial sacred goat. Even with the new JFK Wrap we will see come summer.
