Expressjet 3808
Anybody know these guys? We were headed right for takeoff at EWR this morning with frost all over the wings. Other jets getting deiced at the gate. We just pushback and go!
Full of pax with a FA jumpseating in the back.
Can't believe it as we approach the runway she and I are freaking out. I am in the last row seat 24A so I grab the intercom and ask if they planned on deicing.
We then slow down and sit for awhile. Another 360 and we taxi around awhile then find a place for a deice truck to come spray the wings.
No PA ever made.
Comments?

Can I ask why you posted on a public forum rather than ask the crew when you got off the flight?

My comment is that if you're truly concerned going through your union's Pro Stands committee is a much more professional way to go about things than tattling on an internet message board.

It'll make it's way back one way or another.. I don't see an issue.. If you can't preflight properly you deserve to be embarrassed

You, as a passenger, called the cockpit in a sterile environment to tell the crew what to do? And they let you stay on the plane to IAD? Wow..

You made that big a deal for frost? Are you joking? You want a helmet and a life vest to wear too. Call the crew when the wing is falling off, not for a smidge of frost.

Would you have rather read about an emb going off the end of a runway in Newark this morning?
He said the wing was covered in frost
