yeah, god help the pilots who grew up hand flying the hondo or the saab into most of the special airports on the east coast. I've personally flown into ASE and GUC and just about every other mountain airport in the west and it doesn't require any super special skills. Proper planning and a healthy respect for limitations and weather are what keep crews safe in those environments. Flying a Q from IAH to ASE is another question. And with Pinchanickel running the show, they would probably be put in the shoddiest hotel 150 miles away, not to mention that they couldnt afford to eat in Aspen on our pay.........
