Because the 737-800 "can" operate from a 5000' runway on a short hop, lightly loaded, with clear weather and moderate temperatures and favorable winds does not mean that all an airport needs is 5000' or even 7000' The Boeing article does not address bad weather, longer flights, a variety of loading conditions, a blown tire, an sudden problem with one of the engines, all of which require more than 5000' and more than 7000'.

I understand that the Boeing article is meant to make another anti-T. F. Green statement.. Similarly, the same author points to the 7000' runway 6-27 at Boston time and again with it's over water approach and departure points that allow more useable pavement than PVD. Because that strip has been used under some conditions to reach the West Coast does not certify it for all aircraft, all weather, all loading conditions especially when there are other longer, safer runway choices at Logan ranging from 7800' to 10100' Such claims to make the anti-Green case we hear over and over. They are inaccurate and worse, irresponsible.
