Are these the same guys that do the FMS in the Ejet? No wonder the outter fixes on the DFW approaches are missing. I was flying a Mesa flight into DFW when we were given direct to one of these missing fixes and the response from the FO was “unable, we need vectors to final”. The FO didn’t realize he could just load in the fix in manually, but at least he were smart enough not to completely screw things up. Approach gave us a vector and all was well.
