It bothered me when we were doing deice training when it was 80 degrees outside (we were spraying water on outbound flights making them late at their destinations?). Something just didn't seem "right."

I can remember (maybe 10 years ago?) admiring what a great job they did deicing in IND. A few years later I noticed it wasn't as good. I wondered if they were making MEM look bad and if they sent a MEM manager up there to "fix" it?

There are locations in the world where the aircraft taxis through a permanent structure "car wash" to get deiced and it's not possible to damage an aircraft. Maybe that's the answer?

Things that make you go hmmmmm ....
Ask UPS about their deice gantry!
