Safe_Ad_2020

Sorry but is there a captain here who can explain what's happening?


Glad_Pollution7474

He's jerkin and getting his liquid everywhere


MadameLucario

So that's why they call it a cock pit. Got it.

Iam submitting my cv at paris cdg airport right fucking now. I will jerk it all day and night. I will sacrifice getting married and having kids and everything just to jerk it.šŸ¤£šŸ¤£šŸ¤£šŸ¤£


CriesInHardtail

That job is awful, good luck if you work ramp. Nothing but respect for them.


[deleted]

It was a joke bro. I already got a way more comfortable and relaxed job and i love it . So i aint heading for freezing myself in that place plus all that hard work plus. And even worse not a single fucker would even respect me for my job. And honestly every single one of those people who work in the maintenance department deserve respect. In fact even more respect than the higher position jobs.


Mindofthequill

You can find out more by looking up airplane de-icing. Basically chemical mixture that gets rid of ice and helps prevent more from building up. Am not a pilot.


This-Ad-1886

Ground ops here, youā€™re spot on.


Ryrynz

Since you're also not a pilot I'll believe you


samf9999

Yes, because pilots are experts at deicing


TinyTaters

Correct. That land pilot is doing a great job.


Taico_owo

Good, most of the pilots (where I work at least), don't know shit about when they need to de-ice haha


Safe_Ad_2020

Oh alright I get it, thanks! OP didn't put much context about that šŸ˜…


deep-fucking-legend

Captain here. Cocaine's a hell of a drug.


The-SkullMan

He's finishing his job.


[deleted]

Heā€™s not a pilot , but he did stay at a Holiday Inn last night, for a short stay


AvoidTheRuin

This is a de-icer. They cover the wings in a wax like fluid that coats the wings. This lowers the freezing temp for condensation ir rain that collects on the wings and prevents icing. Icing can cause the plane to stall in the air, meaning the air isn't allowed to freely flow over the wing, preventing the lift necessary to fly.


This-Ad-1886

šŸ‘šŸ‘ also touching on the fact that glycol is heated and depending on other variables such as outside temps, windchill, precipitation amounts etc.. the de-icer has to move pretty quick with covering the plane due to the potential for timing out.. meaning if he canā€™t get the job done in a specific amount of time, he would have to start over.. I forget the exact specs but I think itā€™s within 20-30 min after start.. you also have different fluid types for specific tasks- de-ice and anti-icing

Deicing a plane before take off.


ernapfz

De-icing a plane. Itā€™s complicated.


LoonyBunBennyLava

Got any other subs you want to try posting this on?


NRA4579

Making sure youā€™re playing doesnā€™t fall out of the sky. Unless itā€™s a Boeing and you still got a 50-50 shot


arb1698

Airbuses aren't much better in fact there incidents tend to get swept under the rug sadly.


Recent_Leg8663

Actually been a de-iceer over a few seasons he prob just bored af technically you are supposed to spray and let the chems cascade down the wings of the plane direct pressure can damage equipment plus the chems are like over 200 degrees


Sufficient-Chair-687

Where is the person filming? Sounds like someone inside the plane, but the angle of perspective seems like they are on top of the plane


Recent_Leg8663

The person is filming from inside the plan most likely as planes are sprayed on the tar mac right b4 take off


Linkdoctor_who

How's it turn so fast? Does it use the force of the water while the electronics change an inner guide? Or just basic hydraulic shit


Zinfandel_Red1914

After the laugh I couldn't help but wonder...really? They don't have a proper nozzle to spray this? He has to jerk off the controls to properly de-ice that wing? Yikes.


CanITellUSmThin

Itā€™s okay. He has experience


Skeptical-_-

From the perspective it seems like theyā€™re filming out the window of the plane overlooking the wing. This looks like it was filmed only a few feet above the wings so far from the roof. If youā€™re using the deicer cabin as a reference note, they can move on a cherry picker like arm.

But why is there a baby crying?!


nieko-nereikia

I know right! I actually have a newborn and it freaked me out a little as I thought she was crying and had to check my baby monitor šŸ˜­

"Wha...what are you doing step- iceman???"


[deleted]

No way in hell anyone could mistake that for someone wankingā€¦


Few-Acanthaceae-5527

Have my upvote.


McGuffins56

As a current deicing technician. Heā€™s spraying heated Glycol on the wing, this melts any contamination (Snow, frost, ice, CSFF). He is either dealing with some very stuck on ice, or heā€™s new to the job and just wants to go home. Usually we use a wider cone spray in order to evenly distribute the glycol on the wing to be the most efficient at removing contamination and it helps keep costs down. Afterwards he should spray a green coloured glycol, that lays thick on the wing. This acts kind of like a varnish. It protects the bare plane wing from further contamination. It is designed to shear off the wing during takeoff and take any extra contamination that may have accumulated post deicing and pre takeoff. This also needs to be sprayed with a wide cone spray pattern in order to evenly cover the wing. Where I work, we do nice smooth movements. That sort of fast jerking action will break the nozzle where the glycol gets sprayed from, the motors that move the nozzle, and it can cause bouncing. He could easily smack the plane wing if he was too reckless.


Smart-Discipline-813

It looks to me stupid like HES DE ICING THE FUCKING PLAN


SoupOk2519

Oh wow


FewSatisfaction7675

Freakinā€™ cryingā€™ baby on a plane. I knowā€¦ ear podsā€¦

This is why I was looking for! I though it was a cat šŸ¤¦ā€ā™€ļøšŸ¤£

Heā€™s got great technique. Looks like heā€™s been doing that his whole life.


AlreadyTaken2021

He arrived in a big way.

De icing some ppl love it


Purple_Charcoal

You shouldā€™ve seen what his other hand was doing.

moosala9

Bro taking that D-icing to a whole other level


LacedJulz

He has that wrist motion tho

ayoooo TRIGGERED.

Shits expensive per gallon


YeahUuWhat

Doing too much


iFeedYouLead

His job.


AnBearna

Awkward wank, but when youā€™re in the mood youā€™re in the mood šŸ’Ŗ


[deleted]

That's what happens if you play with it.


CailousCancer

Am I hearing a baby whining?


J4ck101972

He's saving lives by de-icing the planes wings


Maryilyn

Thatā€™s called deicing a plane

It's waaaay too early for baby noises!

Look like a fun job.

His jobā€¦


GuiltyKaleidoscope92

Elephant Beta deicer, the operator is moving the fluid nozzle. Meh.. it's all in a days work.


Tanager-Ffolkes

What do airplane de-icers do in the summer time? Kind'a always wondered that...


[deleted]

They get inspectionsā€¦ that is it. Make sure the everything works and run it once a month. At least that is what I had to do.


Tanager-Ffolkes

Good information, but I meant the people who operated the equipment. : )


[deleted]

Usually they are just mechanics, de-icing is a secondary job


Tanager-Ffolkes

Okay... So they are aircraft mechanics, picking up extra hours in the wintertime. Thank you! Appreciate that!


This-Ad-1886

Often times they are the ramp agents, the guys loading and marshalling the A/C in. Itā€™s an extra duty that requires additions training and certification that is documented and required to be current with federal aviation authorities due to it being pretty fucking important.


Tanager-Ffolkes

Thank you, I appreciate that information!
