We use Propylene Glycol in the lower 48, but ethylene glycol in Alaska, since it's so cold.

Didn't the company originally say the plane was de-iced with propylene, but later it admitted (stated?) it was ethylene?

Yes. C.B. sent out that notice on the ALPA board.

Also I heard that what happened was you had two jets pushed for de-ice. MX was in contact with the wrong airplane and when they asked the crew if they had the airplane configured, they began spraying. They were just at the wrong plane.
