You are correct, some of the GA Skies birds came from Hawaii with no boots. They do not have TKS, they are not approved for FIKI. They tell you to go VFR if it's 1000' and 3 miles vis and viola, problem solved, for the guys in charge anyway. We don't have dispatchers at all. The flight crews file and fly their own flight plans.
