Blog: Surviving the Newark ATC Chaos

I had some first-hand experience with the recent craziness involving Newark Liberty International Airport (KEWR). Living just a half hour away, I have grown familiar with travel to and from EWR, and most of my airline experience has been positive. I have marveled at the fact that I can pack up my bags, drive to the airport, and then find myself emerging from the cabin door on the other side of the planet.

Great write-up, hits the sweet spot: funny, honest, and easy to roll with. Feels like something out of Reader’s Digest back when it still had some bite. And the Newark stuff? Nailed it. Runway closures, ATC handoffs, the whole mess – thanks.
