What also is not helping the situation is some Commanders insistence on 2 stage de icing and anti icing even though the weather conditions/hold over times don't require it.
Oh Oh, that kind of thought ought not to mess with the decison part of a commanders thoughts.
There should be no lessening of safety critical processes based on delays etc. I would hate for a rumor to start floating arround at the commanders dispatch level about how to save deicing fluid. Those kind of thoughts need to be formalized in procedures.
