Like I said... we landed at 1402 at SWF...... for some time prior to that the GS were "out of service" at Newark.... believe me.... we didn't divert to SWF because we wanted to neither did a **** ton of other planes. They did offer the RNAV to 4L ... and then when we agreed ... they decided to plow the runway.... and with NO definite time when they would be done we went to SWF. Was a mute point anyways as the rvr dropped below mins for the RNAV for awhile anyway. By that point everyone was either closed or NOT taking diverts, SWF took us and two 757s... nice to have auto land.
