The aircraft is sprayed with composite liquids containing alcohol, glycol or even salts. This is done in an effort to lower the freezing temp of water. Propylene glycol is what is used lots of time. Its similar to the coolant chemical used in your vehicle.
5000 flights airborne at 5:00PM everyday, that would be having 1 or 2 aircraft over most of the USA at one time, and maybe 1 per year crashes, and even then it may not be fatal.
"No they don't crash, you must work on air Canada first before you can say they will crash. Just splashing the plane with water to remove the ice coat. (My brain!)"
Ok, c'mon, there's ground crew out there somewhere. that can answer...is it alcohol that they spray the skin with?

The aircraft you guys are on was indeed an Airbus. Now if it was an a319, 320, or 321 i cannot tell from your POV.
However, the aircraft across from you was a Boeing 767.

That is an Airbus... I think it is a 319 not ERJ170 or ERJ 175...

This aircraft isn't an erj. You can tell by the type of engine (CFM56), winglet(airbus style), and slats that are on the aircraft.

It's not an Embraer, first of all. And Air Canada doesn't have E170s, only 175s & 190s.
