Has anyone recently read the latest CHIRP Newsletter (issue 33)?
Theres a link to the newsletter below and also a picture that was published within the newsletter.
My jaw was on the floor reading it and wondered what other Cabin Crew think about this situation?
Most of us I would have thought would be savvy enough to know that any sort of ice/snow/slush on the wings is a no go, esp as, we as crew have a slightly bizzare love of Air Crash Investigation shows!!
I know training can vary airline to airline, but are crews educated on wing contamination?
I have been on two flights where we have had to notify the F/D that there was either ice build up or that the De-Icing team had failed to de-ice one whole side of the a/c. On both occasions the F/D where fairly flippant believing that the De-Icing teams had done their job (with out them visually checking!!) or there was little cause for concern. Thankfully we have a reasonably open culture at our airline and on the Cabin Crews instance made the F/D came back into the cabin to visually check the wings.....on both times the sheepish looking FO apologised and got the De-Icing teams back.
What would you do as crew if you had seen the same in the picture below?
