After the Dryden crash the investigation resulted in over 100 recommedations regarding contaminated airfoils. Most were adopted and if I remember correctly one was that if there was any contamination the aircraft was to be de-iced.

If I look out the window and see snow or ice on the wings and we're not de-icing - I'm getting off regardless of the consequences.

My life is worth more than any single flight.
