Our crews are facing the pressure to either be loured by ATC into attempting a scud running midfield downwind amidst local terrain for r30 hoping to pick it up visually, or to stay up and hold/divert. #harmonization

100% this. Look at SkyWest, they are multiple Epic-load updates ahead of us. There’s no reason that Envoy should be screwing around with green world when the damn airplane has the technology to stay in magenta. Fork over the money and help your pilots. I will even include a link. $7 million for the whole fleet. Less than the cost of a furlough.
