Survey, their dislike could be based on the problem that some retrofits of TKS are having with corosion, or the cost of the fluid, its about $75 US to replenish a small single piston a friend owns. My only experience is flying a DH "Devon", {military Dove} but as this was in NZ there was not a big requirment for the de-ice, in fact our DC3s had the boots removed, they went a bit faster without them,{that is if "fast" can be said about a DC3!} JOs post came up as I was typing my one, JO, is that just the Fed Ex owned aircraft, or does it apply to the sub-contracters as well?
