Welcome to JFK, take a number please

Taking off from JFK on time is an amazing feat really considering the air traffic, it was announced that we had 10 planes in front of us but as we moved around the corner for our turn the line behind was incredible!
There were at least a dozen in line behind us all shapes and sizes. Small commuter flyers sharing the wait with full size jumbos. So amazing that there aren’t more incidents than there are.

No wonder air traffic controller is a stressful job. I couldn’t imagine having to handle so many planes, for every one waiting to take off, a plane is landing in between. Just amazing. I would love to watch how it all happens but that would be a distraction and probably dangerous.
