Lots of things in that report that obviously don’t make sense (Why did they continue as far as JFK if they thought there was a problem. If he was an employee the manifest would have said so etc etc)
AA137/136 is my regular this year, glad I don’t have to be in the US over the summer. A cranky 777 load of holidymaking Brits and hystrionic Americans on the ground at JFK would not be fun.
They’re bad enough in the air for 11 hours as it is! 😀
