To see you on this board, blabbering about how glycol was frozen before the "rookie" was done, is really disgusting. Do you understand the concept of hold over time? Ever heard of type IV fluid?
Disguisting?
Of course I know what 1 of the 4 types of glycol fluids are like, and I know that IV has a way longer holdover than I. Doesn't mean that there never has been a single truck on a flight using type I.
