Recently at JFK

About end of november we left JFK while it was snowing.
We taxied to the Deicing ramp, shut down and got deiced. In orange, type 1.
I had asked for antiicing also, and they started spraying the green type 4. Right wing got done, on the left one they only sprayed the flaps. The deicer guys left and did their shift change.
The ramp agent came back on the headset and reported the deicing process as finished. We only noted it was incomplete, because we have a taxicamera mounted on our A346.
I had them comeback and finish the job, told the deicer on the freq that this might have ended in the termination of 300+ lives and that I would report this.

If you are at JFK - beware!

The oposite is true for BOS - professional, polite, all up to international standard.
