Not on the DC9 in 1980s.
We were still in severe icing.
I had read of the tailplane stall in another company accident bulletin in the 70s who operated them as well; secondly in flight magazine.
Maybe it hadn’t happened to a nine..and I didn’t want to be the first guy to try it and have my head go through my sphincter.

In those years we didn’t have the “ luxury” of the internet and getting accident and incident reports were often the prerogative of management and the unions.
Both the Munich and Staines disasters might have been avoided if the crews had had reports which were routinely available.
