We were on a United flight some years ago that was delayed in Kansas City so the wings could be de-iced. When we got near the runway for takeoff, the first officer came back and visually checked the wings from the window to make sure all was well. That is what I like to see...a crew double checking to make sure we were safe. Again, I would not second guess the captain of that Continental flight. I'm sure he did what he thought was prudent.
