I'm in no way qualified to comment on the details of the issue outlined here (though I did get stuck babysitting a friend's kids for many extra hours due to a 6hr delay on said friend's flight into EWR a few weeks ago). For anyone who lives far enough north and west of EWR though, I highly recommend trying either the Allentown or Scranton/Wilkes-Barre airports. I've moved my business travel to Scranton 100% and have been loving it. There are more restrictions on flight times, and basically everything needs a connection, but it more than makes up for any time I would have lost due to sinkhole traffic on I-80 and the EWR parking shuttles. It's amazing to park and be at the security line basically 3 minutes later.
