SWA is the biggest operator out of there and I haven't seen a cnx due to heat yet...I have commuted out of Phx and Tus for the past 4.5 years.

Boeing has charts that go higher than 120 C you just have to pay for them. SWA has these charts.

Yeah I just looked into it. It doesn't happen anymore because they've now got the numbers for temps over 122 deg F.

I made a PA a couple of years ago and told everybody that the temperature was 50 deg F which converts to 50 deg C. I didn't even realize that I did it until an elderly couple, one of the last getting off the plane stopped to talk to me. The gentlemen had a wry smile on his face and the formula for converting Celsius to Fahrenheit written out on a piece of paper which he handed to me.

He was a retired college professor and we had a good laugh.
