i can tell the tower manager and the deicer guy were hired into the same class in 1989 but one kept it real and does spray and the other is a tower manager and there is def tension between the two and now they're in a documentary together.

Wtf?Im at AA and it doesn’t get that serious unless they have issues outside of work.There are people who worked in the tower and now they’re a tech or ramp agent.I don’t know what you mean by keeping it real.Everyman chooses his own path and depending on the season,the guys on the ground make far more than the tower people.

I was a deicer for 2 years at Aeromag 2000 in canada and overall this was a good explanation I was a deicing tech my first year (the guy spraying and driving the trucks) and my second year promoted to operations lead aka (supervisor and the person the pilots talk to my callsign was "iceman") . its a tough job but very fun and a different way to see and work at the airport

lmao stfu deicing is not a tough job it's the easiest one at the airport after maybe perimeter security guard. at bases where ac didn't outsource, deicing lines always went most senior because they know it's sit in your cab all day, nap, and move some joysticks and pedals. lol "tough job" maybe for a quebecker that's difficult.

This information is for the Sprayer.... Recommendations for De-icing/Anti-icing Aeroplanes on the Ground Edition 29 - July 2014 3.9.1.6.1 Wings, horizontal stabilizer, and elevators Spray from the leading edge to the trailing edge. Do not spray from the rear. Start at the highest point of the surfaces and work to the lowest parts, i.e. on most aeroplanes start at the wing tip and work towards the wing root.

PSA! Never spray from behind the flaps into the flaps. Always leading edge back. 2023 rules not 2012

sancochito75 wow. That’s too bad that you feel the need to talk nasty about these men. You don’t have to be attracted to anyone in particular if they have s quality you dislike. That’s your business. But there’s no need to say anything derogatory about anyone’s appearance. Especially at Christmas. I see your post is from one year ago and perhaps you feel differently now. I’ll let you in on a secret. When people look at profiles on dating sites, they see the preferences of anyone who has a profile. Most folks just don’t care for anyone with a profile with any negatives. I you don’t have to talk to anyone whose pictures you don’t like. I’m sure you understand. Have a great holiday!
