Type 1 Deice is an EMERGENCY?!
Time to reign in the "operational emergency" verbiage.
Type 1 deicing at a major hub is only an emergency if you're not managing your operations and/or if you're already near contractual limits because your schedule is complete fakery.
Where's the damn (new) contract and will somebody please enforce it?

Especially when they are already stretching the contract to within an inch of its life on a day-to-day basis.

Where in the Revised FAA-Approved Deicing Program Updates, Winter 2021–2022 (FAA FORM N 8900.594 does it state using type I is for emergencies only?

“Emergency” as in Memphis can’t get their stuff together ahead of time with regards to deice procedures and relies on declaring an operational emergency for every little flake of snow that falls. Glad I’m on vacation!

Wow. He is saying that de-icing in memphis creates a operational emergency. And it’s JUST type one. Not needing 4 as well. He’s not saying type one is for use in emergency. Duhhhh. He’s saying how ridiculous it is that there is not good deice program in memphis. It happens every year. Usually more than once. Good reference on the manual. You must be so smart!
