Brain, I had a small exec jet de-iced at your home base, the guys there did a great job, there was one guy under instruction and they must have used as much fluid as you would on one of your big birds. He even did under the wing, which was nice
I was stood outside watching I got covered as well as the aircraft, the pax had to walk through the stuff so the carpet inside got de-iced too.
Somone once said that no matter how much it costs to de-ice an aircraft its still cheaper than crashing.
