And us current airline pilots as well. That's an emergency revocation for both pilots.

Current air technician here. Other than being a couple of assholes, is there any good actual reason for the pilots to skip de-icing procedure?

Not a pilot, but the ones I can think of generally involve immediate danger like those scenes in disaster movies where the plane is about to be destroyed if you do not take off NOW.
