ATC@JFK - Clearance on a special way

Non-pilot comments on these videos are funny =p Delta was probably on a ground stop or ground delay program out of JFK. He had already pushed from the gate, taxied to the runway, and shut down to wait out the delay. He called clearance to try to get a different route so he could circumvent the delay. Just FYI, airline pilots *never* file their own routes... dispatchers do it. If the pilot has a problem, he'll call the dispatcher to make different arrangements (re: "we'll try company again")

WAVEY is an airspace fix on the JFK1 and SKORR3 departure procedures.

[@csorsz777]

there are a lot of waypoints in the world one of these is WAVEY. And the pilot wanted to fly over this intersection.

[@notafanboy250]

It can happen if 22R was being used for taxiing OR maybe he was short of 22R somewhere. Ground can place aircraft wherever they feel appropriate, really.

[@helsinkisuomi]

And they say New Yorkers are rude. Please, the ATC seems pretty nice!

[@SpeedbirdDK]

I dont understand what he want the toer to do. Is he airborne, with shutdomwn engines, above 22R or what? Why dont the delta file the plan him self?

[@DVA5212]

Probably flew the Canarsie Climb with radar vectors WAVEY?

[@ralach]

i -think- he is on runway 22r(?),on the ground with engines shutdown, but i have no valid guess as to why delta81 does not file the flightplan himself. probably lazy ;-)

[@SpeedbirdDK]

Lol, yeah. How can he be at arunway with shutdown engines? funny situatuon :)
