MTOW/MLW operations on short RWYs and/or imperfect weather conditions trouble me. Yes, the B738 for example can do great things, but only under ideal conditions. Load imperfectly or make a calculation error and one may have a major problem. Miss an important wind report: same thing. Most excellent pilots can do this, most of the time. Is that good enough? If it does not look good, will they wait or GA? For some, ego gets in the way and others should not be flying such routes. There are places I won't fly and that's why. Even the best may not pull it off EVERY time. No thanks!
