EXCIN,
I didn't mean to insult you......In my experience with the NGs I have never seen the wing get iced up to the point of having to get deiced at the next stop.......however we rarely tanker fuel(I expect we will be doing it more in the future) and the majority of our flights are about an hour and a half.....and usually whatever ice there is melts by the time you get to the gate( I make sure I bring my hat on walkarounds
). Again I just want to say.....yes some of the features of the NGs are a pain in the ass.....but EVERY aircraft have their issues. I'mgonna be spending the rest of my career on them.....I would'nt be flying them if I thought they were dangerous!
