Between the lack of ACARS and this runway plowing horsesh!t I maintain I want nothing to do with PQI. I'd rather go to Chicago, and that's really saying something because I think Chicago is hell on earth, particularly in winter. But at least they have ACARS and know how to plow a f'ing runway.
I’m sure they know how to properly plow the runway. Maybe they don’t do it often enough for someone’s happiness. I would doubt but do not know if it is “treated” for snow removal as efficiently as ORD would be.
Landing Runway 1 with 3/3/3 if on speed and on glide slope with the use of T/Rs on what is an upsloping runway should not result in an overrun. Not having ACARS is a laughable reason. Do you think pilots across the world avoid airports because they don’t have ACARS? Manage the risk properly. That’s essentially what we’re paid to do.
