Within an hour of leaving JFK for LAS, JetBlue 611 returned to JFK because of an unruly passenger. The attached audio file follows the plane from the gate to the handover to New York Centre and then includes all the return leg communications. I haven't been able to find the exchanges with the New York Centre when the decision to turn the plane round must have been made. Is anyone able to fill in the gap please?
Interestingly, all this was happening at the same time as the departure of the QATAR inaugural flight to Doha was delayed (aborted take-off). See separate thread.
