If you're XJT, it's still on the flightops section if you want to look at it. All 15 or so pages.

It was terribly asinine, especially when departing to the south. There would have been NOTHING wrong with just tracking the LOC into that giant, wide valley. As opposed to that non standard/complex climb, level off, start a X degree bank turn, intercept a radial inbound, fly outbound on another radial, join a radial off another navaid, turn around and go back.

The special two engine missed was messed up as well. The mantra from the headshed is "ATC is aware of out special DP's/SMAP's". Sorry NO THEY ARE NOT!!!! If you ever went around in RNO for wind shear you know what I mean.

QRO and SLW don't have crap on how hard XJT made that whole ordeal. SFO and LAS were a bit of a PITA as well.
