The point we are making is that we are getting blasted for doing a go around while other airlines have landed on taxiways, while a national news piece wasn’t done on it.
There’s learning from mistakes, and then there’s hit pieces from a news network that lost their airport contract, while knowingly attacking the American Airlines brand as well, which affects the American Eagle brand, and subsequent regionals who fly for AE branded flights.
That’s great you flew 6 packs with NDB’s, so have I. But that doesn’t matter for this context. When you have a training program that forces you to adapt to newer technologies (rightfully so) and then only put half of that technology in the aircraft that they expect you to fly to just past the edge of minimums with a snow storm with faulty ATC directives, and you STILL conduct a go around and then get in trouble for it, at what point do you win? It becomes a culture problem, not an aircraft equipment problem.

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.
