You’re missing the point, AC’s deicing operation decision making requires co-authority and that's not what you are saying. AC whether you like it or not is the most experienced recognized deicing carrier in the world. If there’s a way to deice an aircraft more efficiently or cheaper we would certainly be employing that procedure. Many of our aircraft are also returning from overnight flights etc so what you are suggesting is a red herring. Visually contaminated wings are just that, contaminated..
Perhaps you should read the post from an alleged WJ Captain about “
PR” deicing as that IMHO speaks volumes about your deicing philosophy.
