AA120 Last Night (JFK-CDG) 5 hr late-apparently returned to gate

Yeah, the seventh fetzer valve was sticking. Probably from the humidity...

NYC is seeing severe weather that it normally doesn't... but it is still true that other carriers' operations have not been as affected as AA's in bad weather over the last few months....

Global Warming.

....undoubtedly caused by the airline industry

Nope. The 7th has ball bearings. It's all ball bearings nowadays.

To those who actually answered the question, thanks very much. I know all flights were affected by weather as I said, but most left within 45 min to 2 hrs of scheduled departure. It was in fact a wicked night....

Fly safe.

I can read METARs just fine, thanks. They don't add the piece of the puzzle which is the eastbound tracks.

Here's the missing peiece THUNDERSTORMS. that means when it came back the guys could not work it till the storms cleared.

The days of being heroes are long gone.

Agreed, though I'd add that even in the best of times, most guys have a will to live, and are coming inside either way.
