we really need to get past the guppy guys treating the customers to a 35 minute sauna. when i ride or dh, and it's hot, i always ask the capt to start the air. and the south guys have, almost invariably, given me the evil stare
just my experience
and. in 25 pre-merger years, i was hot during boarding maybe a dozen times
in these few post-merger yrs, I've been in a sauna several times a month.
yes. need to get past the divisive crap-
so let's all spend the gas and keep the cabins cool
don't play this 'two completely different airlines are exactly the same' game. doesn't seem so to me so far
but can get there...

Flight attendants appreciate it as well. Just do the right thing. If it means showing up to the other plane a couple minutes later than you normally would, rule number 2 (comfort) says it's ok.

I have under a year on the line and I usually switch the bleeds during my parking flow but most captains will see ground power and the APU will get shut down in the same thought. It is almost muscle memory now for every captain I fly with. I might say something and the response is usually "they are usually pretty good about ground air here." I am afraid if we continue to leave people on hot airplanes with bad or no ground air they will start requiring us to stay until the last passenger is off.

I tell every fo I fly with if they get to the plane before me, make sure it's comfortable. If not, solve the problem.
