Best Airport for Deicing

[TurboS7]

Being a non-sked carrier as a captain deicing is really a pain. We have deicing set up at every airport but sometimes I feel that the ground handlers just tick the box. Which airports do you feel have the best deice situtation especially pertaining to large aircraft ops. Right off the bat I think that USair at PIT has the best setup, just drive the jet through and away you go.

YYZ. Those crazy Canucks know what the heck they're doing! I suppose they'd better.

US Air Boston has a pretty good set up. Two trucks on either side.. takes about 5 minutes to clean a 75.

It is going a lot better for me than it is for about 8000 other ALPA loving AFL-CIO pilots out there. Cheers.

I second PIT as the best place I've flown for deicing.

I personally think Adams International in Barbados is the best airport for deicing.

Montreal, hands down

Speaking of Barbados any of you 737 drivers have problems with wing icing on a quick turn. Usually the 737 after 3.0 hours of flying has problems with ice building on the top of the wing from cold fuel. There are several ways to take care of it I was wondering if anyone had any experience with it.
