Interview

Does anybody know anything about the interview there?

Art,

If the plane has a tks system, you pretty much have to get out of the ice don't you? If it has boots, I can't use up all of the boots like I can if the plane has an alcohol system. Doesn't leave as many options. Perhaps "weird" is bad syntax.

It looks like there has been some good posts defending the TKS system. In my opinion, anytime you are in icing conditions worse than "light" you should change altitudes in an attempt to get out of it. Our planes are equipped with a 6.5 gallon reservoir which lasts for 2.5 hours on the normal setting, and half that on maximum. We also carry about 5 spare gallons in the aft cargo compartment. It has definitely helped me through a decent winter here in the Northeast.

I do have experience using de-ice boot systems on smaller twins and it seems to work okay. I would take the TKS system anyday, and am glad my company opens it's wallet for $8/gallon TKS fluid.

I would also be interested in how they undertake their interviews.
Any details would be highly appreciated.
