The real test of will for a pilot on this APU issue is the last leg of the trip home. Let's say it is from SFO to ORD, with no other special circumstances. If the pilot still refuses the airplane and is willing to accept the missed commute home and buying a commuter hotel room for another night --- then the pilot is at least sticking to his or her principles on the issue. If the pilot takes the airplane this time simply to make it home, then that its obviously complete BS. You can't have it both ways.
