Haven't seen this posted yet and not hits on Google (sorry for the repost if
I missed it).

For those wondering where their nearest WAAS approach procedure is:

Go ELD! My little home airport has a WAAS approach. Yet when the VORTAC is
inop the airline (MESA) still just heads on to DFW or JBR. It doesn't even
matter if there is not a cloud in the sky.

Also, check out this search tool to determine if your airport is on
the list to have one developed in the next couple years.

If they are MESA RJs and they're older, they may not have GPS as part of
their FMS (I work for the manufacturer). The airline's flight
operations SOP, which the pilots must follow, could require them to fly
a published instrument approach even if it is severe clear VFR.

Worse it is their B1900s. And I understand why they have to do it but
that doesn't help much when you are trying to recruit somebody into an
small town and he or she starts feeling like if they move here they
won't be able to get out.
