<<How do you know the pilots don't take it seriously?>>

How about departing JAC in a part 121 operation VFR without an IFR clearance and flying into clouds before receiving an IFR clearance. Numerous warnings by SLC center to aircraft landing at JAC about being off course and too low. Part 121 and 135 aircraft landing JAC with significant tail winds and coming to a screeching halt at the end of the runway.

<<Do you know what the training standards are?>>

I hope I find out in the NTSB report.

If I may ask you, how many times you have actually landed or departed JAC at or near minimums with a contaminated runway and significant winds?
