Absolutely. Spoken like someone who actually does it. I've slid on patches at 2kts but it was sloped. There's only so much you can do if you hit a solid sheet of ice in a turn

I’ve had the aircraft move with idle thrust on ice/snow before, were it not for thrust reversers…

This comment shows how “experienced” you are. Clearly you have no clue how easy it is for an aircraft to slide on ice, and clearly you weren’t there to see to criticize the crew.

How about tell that to the delta 717 pilots that slid almost over the hill off a taxi way last winter in Pittsburgh...slow isn't always gonna cut it if there's ice.

During preflight lock the hubs on the rear tires and put it in 4wd after you get pushed back.

We are sitting in class in MSP and just got an email from management saying that they are in talks about retention, quality of life, and operation efficiency.

Hopefully good things will come!

The same thing happened back in September and the talks fell apart within a few days because the company wanted the pilots to give things up in exchange for retention bonuses. Staffing the airline is wholly the companies problem to solve and the pilots position has only gotten stronger in past few months as more are leaving than they can get into classes. Hopefully being unable to the staff the airline has made them realize they have to do something significant but I’m not holding my breath.
