Does anyone know what Ryanair SOPs are for deicing?
The temperature was 1-2 °C with some very light snow flurries. The only airline getting aircraft deiced on departure was Ryanair (despite short turnarounds, when other aircraft departing without deicing had had their aircraft on the ground for significantly longer).
Interesting.
Probably one where call is made by local base ops or where it is not a base by Captain with emphasis on "If in doubt do it............... and then a Pilot doesn't has to justify why not".
Course story in Daily Fail will be Ryanair needlessly polluting water courses and they using cheap anti freeze...................... or Austrian Wine for those old enough to remember.
