After we park, I suggest that I had NEVER heard that and that at THIS company on THIS jet, that we do NOT do that and that if the company wanted us to do so, ice protection would be on the after landing and parking checklists. Fellow proceeds to get butthurt.
I've only flown at 2 airlines and they both would describe this as taxiing in icing conditions / contaminated conditions and it would require engine anti-ice on --- regardless of going out for takeoff or coming into the gate. What airline do you work for that doesn't require eng a-ice to be on?
