Read and follow RNAV arrival and departure procedures carefully at SLC

[Dinger]

You are not kidding. They are in the middle of nowhere and you'd think you're in the middle of LGA, TEB, JFK, and EWR all combined. SLC has the 2nd worst ATC system next to IAD. Their capabilities are way below acceptable in SLC.

My last trip there, 100 plus miles of visibilty, 3 airplanes on the frequency, and ATC vectors us into a SKW CRJ - we caught it, but that mistake was followed by a 12 mile final to the west runway, when GA needs the east runway.

Incompetence at it's finest in SLC.

"SLC has the 2nd worst ATC system..."

"Their capabilities are way below acceptable"...

"...but that mistake was followed by a 12 mile final to the west runway, when GA NEEDS the east"...

"Incompetence at it's finest"......

yeah...my mistake!
