@ FE Hoppy...

"No mention of RAAS or EGPWS TCF. City line ejects have it. What about the CRJs?"

IMHO, RAAS or EGPWS would not have helped in this case because their software would not have been updated yet with the new status of that airport.

I was in Calgary (CYYC) last week and they have a fully operational new runway and we did not get the RAAS warning for it.

We also didn't get the normal warnings at a Middle-East airport last year (can't remember which one).

So the manufacturers of the equipment needs the info to load it up in their database.
