Exactly, WN already deals with flow control, EDCTs, and ground stops, however, none of those airports listed by Flaps 9 can hold a candle to the NYC area airports when it comes to those sort of delays.

and flow is when either the TRACON or Center requires so many miles in trail and hence, slow down or reduce the flow of traffic.

True True!!! and it's going to be real funny when you get a few of those old school Dallas Captains flying out there. Always asking for direct, trying to get intersection departures, fast taxis.......Good Luck
