I'm with IO540 PPR is an utter pain in the arse. Far enough when I call up a place on the radio only to be told its closed to visiting aircraft due waterlogged runway then fair enough perhaps I should have rang ahead. But some places are utter loons they have parking for twenty 737s yet they only have 12 movements a day but when you call them up they can't fit you in - its a joke.
If it so simple in the USA why can't it be in the EU?
