The flight operations things is total nonsense.
What's most astonishing about this whole saga is that there was no apparent foresight on anyone's part to create a rough underground shell for a future subway/regional rail station and a rough idea of how an approach right-of-way would work WHILE SPENDING BILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO REBUILD LAGUARDIA! What city or country does that? No other alpha city would forego bothering to plan for such a link even if the details were unsettled. But this is the kind of thibg you get when there is essentially no long term transit vision for a region that is agreed upon - or even prepared - and the planning and projects you do see is usually done at the behest and whims of politicians instead of a well funded and universally supported transportation authority. Think TfL. Think RATP. Think MTR.
