80 and Johnso thanks. When the last one was born I bid for the week off right around his due date and got it (had to because I was with the company less than a year). He came a bit early and the Duty officer hooked me up with a ride home and dropped the rest of my rotation. I'm gonna try that again this time with the X days. With an 80 hour guarantee don't want to miss out on the bread.

Just for info icing had nothing to do with the Colgan accident. You can read the transcripts on the NTSB website. So many mistakes you can hardly count them all but the basics were they pulled the props to fine pitch and throttles to idle to slow down. Never pushed the power up and got the stick pusher. Captain over powered the pusher and the copilot decided to raise the flaps. The result we all know.
Razorback also makes a good point. Wasn't the prop brake just the coolest thing?
Interesting factoid ... the Concorde used rubber de-ice boots

As a "retired" ATR pilot, the plane carries ice as well as any other turboprop. Roselawn was caused by the Captain's absence. He was occupied in the "forward bedroom". The FO cancelled the aileron trim AP warning dozens of times in the Captain's absence. The signs were there to prevent the crash, just nobody was there to see them.
