There was a memo just out about that... They have some special approval to allow a greatly reduced concentration of type 1 but to do that they must use type 4 also. Makes me wonder if they really save any money doing it that way.

DAL does that for some reason. I think SKW will still give us T-I only.
But SLC does have a potential severe active frost problem from the lake moisture. It can switch on and off with no notice.
