Your experience regarding the ground Eng and the F/O.
I have seen stand up rows on the flight deck and airbridge between flt crew, ground staff and engineer regarding de-icing. The Eng says it needs doing, the ground staff saying it will cause a delay and the Capt stuck in the middle trying to keep his job.
It's not pretty.
As you say, some employers place a different value on safety than our own.
Keep safe.
