(Reporter: And how does it look so far?)
So far so good. No problems so you know I’m hoping the rest of my trip is uneventful as far as delays."

STORYLINE:
The Federal Aviation Administration says that the flight restrictions that have been in place at New Jersey’s largest airport will remain in place into mid-June.
The rule announced Tuesday will cap the number of arrivals and departures at Newark Liberty International Airport at 28 apiece per hour.
That’s in line with the limits imposed after half a dozen air traffic controllers went on trauma leave following a tech outage April 28.
The controllers were unable to see or communicate with the planes for over a minute. It happened again May 9.
Despite the restrictions, the Newark airport filled up on Friday as more people made their getaways for the long Memorial Day weekend.
New Jersey travelers who spoke with the Associated Press said that they arrived for their flights even earlier in anticipation of larger crowds and potential issues.
By mid-June, the controllers on leave will be scheduled to return.
The FAA is working to address the technical problems that caused the outages.
