When I underwent training on a RJ, it was emphasized that most Canadian airports don't have grooved runways (for whatever reason, big winter airports like MSP/CHI/BOS/NYC seem to handle ice okay). It was said that a long landings could end up in the snow banks as has happened in YOW multiple times. That was on a regional jet. A 737-800 with a tailwind and a long landing, good luck.

I guess my ALPA dues will save my ass if I do something ridiculous at my major. ALPA representation was rarely seen in my regional. You screwed up your career was essentially gone.
