Yes FO they have been in. So has a 757. But to programme a 737 into GCI 3/4 times a day with regular 25/30+ kts of crosswind wet runway and poor vis means not only are they likey to overshoot but will have a payload reduction for departure.

An extra 250 metres of runway would help. Will you be happy if you are one of the 30 pax they have to off load for performance reasons.

The accountants are not going to let them operate at reduced loads all of the time. There are more profits to be had on other routes.

Try getting seats from the CIs especially now FLY-BE are offering value seats and making money at it.

Lets hope for a runway extention.
