By the way, żany word from Light Twin Driver regarding those british cowboys (let me borrow you 'fair' word) riding that big horse across so many miles and so many souls on board, on 3 engines?.
Analysed to death both here and, more importantly, officially by both the FAA and the CAA. BA continuation policy has not changed and nobody was reprimanded or prosecuted.
Back to the thread. What has become abundantly clear is that, in the future, there will be further crashes due to airframes contaminated with ice and snow deposits. I just wish we could know the flight numbers of the defenders of the indefensible here so that we have the option of not risking our lives alongside them.
It is not difficult to determine of a wing has ice or snow on it is it? And if it is in doubt then de-ice anyway. I do and have done.
