Excellent post macdo airline flying is statically very safe nowadays but people need to realise some airports are much safer than others by many orders of magnitude.Looking at my log books I see I have operated large airliners to/from BRS on average twice a year for the past 12 years.Local crews get to know the peculiarities of a challenging airfield by frequent exposure ,visiting pilots much less so.Very few airfields in my 30 year civil flying career have caused me as much concern as BRS in poor weather.
