I'm sure you all remember how they got a little low and sucked some trees (lucky for them, they were in an MD80 and not a 737).

You need to get your facts straight.
Air Florida did not follow procedures outlined within their cold weather operations manual. They neglected to turn on EAI as requried, and exceeded there de-icing holderhover time before takeoff.
Do you know why the American Airlines MD-80 "sucked some trees" as you put it?
Read the accident reports which are both available on the NTSB web site.
