Or that anal.

Well, then our Air Force is anal. They worked with the FAA for a long
time on this issue, then gave up and implemented cold temp procedures
just for the Air Force. They almost lost a cargo bird at Tule,
Greenland in the late 1980s that got their attention.

The problem isn't usually with minimums. It is out on the initial
segments and sometimes the feeder routes as well. The higher above the
altimeter setting source, the larger the errors.
