I remember when PSA - USX flew in, they only allowed the captain to land the airplane, and I heard that ASA required dual captains when they first opened it.

What's amazing is when MidAtlantic came in with the E170s, most of the crews had flown the Fokker 28s in there, so they were already well versed, and USX never had a weight restriction to FLL.

Only issue with EYW is when its wet or low clouds - no ILS either. Screw something up and you are going swimming (on both sides, although one is a swamp, the other is the channel).
