Well, sadly the oh so american company Boeing does not believe in LPV and does not offer it on its models...

But GLS is standard equipment
Bad decision on their part. Then again, it's not the first time they've been wrong.

More and more business aircraft are equiping with SBAS. The mix of users at KCRQ is such that probably 80% of them can fly either LPV or LNAV/VNAV.

But, the LNAV/VNAV minimums at KCRQ are way higher than the LPV and higher than LNAV only. Boeing is painfully aware of how lousy LNAV/VNAV is except for RNP AR.
