De-icing deceit at DIA:airline de-icing scoop

http://www.denverpost.com/entertainment/ci_7506677

Undercover camera work by a Channel 4 staffer reveals blatant cheating by an instructor for Servisair, one of the world's largest aviation ground service providers. The teacher spoon-feeds applicants the test answers, even telling them to get one answer wrong so as not to draw attention to their uniformly perfect scores. In fact, the applicants for these $13/hour jobs had little or no understanding of the de-icing process.

That's particularly disturbing in Denver since there was a major crash at the airport in the 80's when a Continental (?) jet crashed on take off due to ice build up on its wings.

Same thing happened at La Guardia in the 90s, the plane couldn't take off due to ice build up and crashed into icy cold waters. Most inside died of hypothermia.
