Editor — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 18:55:20 +0000

Both Delta and jetBlue have requested exemptions to the 3-hour rule about to be implemented in April for their operations at JFK airport citing the runway closure for re-construction that will be in place until July. At first glance, this seems a reasonable request and Both the airlines and the FAA have had plenty of time to come up with a contingency plan to deal with potential problems. When I consider that, I really don't think the 3 hour rule should be exempted.
