Something about needing 5 miles (!!!!) of visibility. No one would give me any more info than that, and I sure as heck tried to find out.

Compass has been flying the E175 into MSO for probably 18 months at this point. So I'm not so sure that counts as "new." It's just maddening that the other airlines all manage to land here in the snow..... Bigger plane, and smaller ones....

LOL it's Montana. Surely they knew we had mountains and snow :-)
