Indeed therein lies the problem. I dont think there has been any criticism of LTd's call to ATC advising his concern for the IB flight from anyone here. What has been criticised is the manner in which it has been placed here, and those trying to justify the IB's crew decision. (Later shot down as further 'evidence' is provided to assist the arguement)

As for comments regarding good CRM, dont just pick the bits that back up your point of view. Yes it was good CRM to point it out, no it was not good CRM to place the situation into this domain with such an emotive title. Now we are rowing between ourselves and missing the points. Was it wrong to dispatch? Based on the evidence here then yes it may have been. Has the event been correctly described? perhaps perhaps not. Yet a crew judged by their peers with only one side to the story put forth are labelled as cowboys, and issues of deicing dissolve into a mix of quarrels.

If you have safety concerns then have the courage of your convictions, voice them, raise them or report them if you believe this is warranted. Do not label a crew in such a derogatory way on a public forum with no safety role, without having all the facts, including the reasoning behind their decision. It is to say the least amateurish and has no benefit with regards flight safety.
