Avman, Guilty again!

Yes indeed 22 is used at times but, other than GA traffic (by the way, by stating GA I didn't exclude larger types), rarely by the airlines
In my B737 time, with Ams as home airport, I landed my Airliner numerous times on rwy 22. This together with all the other medium jet airline operated aircraft. The runway is limited to max B767/A330 type of aircraft.
With soutwesterly storms either rwy 22 is in use, or rwy 27 break off to 24. The word rarely is thus not true.
Sometimes however 22 is in use without any strong wind present, but because of the runway allocation system.
