Flyingchanges, do you have any documents referencing the policy to not use APU bleed air after deicing? Is it something your company has put in place or is it straight from Boeing?
We have no such restrictions. I wonder if this is something that somehow got missed by our Flight Ops folks. All our NG's have the higher thrust rated engines so we rarely do bleed off takeoffs, particularly in the winter. I wonder if this is something that has slipped through the cracks.
