Has anyone every used the PRM approach. The only time I've seen it was during severe clear, and even then we didn't actually use it. We were given the visual. I thought it was supposed to speed things up when the weather sucked?

Last time I checked the union does not tell the FAA how to set the rules.

NATCA (the "new" PATCO) does not write the rules for the FAA, but they do have clout.
