What kind of limitations address accumulating(sp?) a significant amount of ice on the tail of an RJ, then experiencing loss of elevator effectiveness in the flare(see incident number 4 on the bulletted list)? They tell us it doesn't need any de-ice/anti-ice back there...right?
The fact is, this stuff happens. It is good to know that most if not all airlines take a proactive approach to safety...well at least enough proactivity to email an internal memo to everyone to remind them of our priorities. I fail to see why this deserved front page coverage. I fail to see why it took priority over the latest Iraq war coverage(the Skywest article had larger face type and was the first article top to bottom). Maybe because it was local in nature? I don't know, it just sort of irked me, especially since the paper did not have all the facts. Don't get me wrong, this article was pretty mundane and also quite accurate, it just lacked some important info that would have helped paint a better picture. IMHO.
