OAX/SLW aren't crap compared to how complex RNO was made out to be.

You clearly have never shot a VOR/DME arc approach in a non-radar environment, around terrain, to minimums in Mexico. Believe me auto-pilot is irrelevant at that point. Do let me know when you do, it might change your tune....
True, but the sad part is this; ANY instrument rated pilot should be able to do the above without really much effort. Toss in the new terrain radar setup and pink needle/PFM and it just makes it all that much easier. Just sayin', it's not as complex as our company makes it out to be, nor as hard as many guys like to make it.
And yes, I'd agree that flying down there is for sure more challenging than just about anything in the U.S. Sadly, there are guys that decided to make it harder for all of us.
