757-300, 220+ people on board, pull into gate and shut down the APU ASAP even if they don't have air on board the jet yet. Oh yeah! Great idea! Awesome! Save gas! Screw passengers, they didn't pay for comfort. Well, maybe we care about comfort, 'like how's the ride?' 20x in flight and dammit you better get up and tell them goodbye in case they fill out a survey, but as far as AC, let em burn.

Not just 757. Had crews doing that out west on the 717 and this week on an 88 when I was deadheading.

I don't get it. Why? Why why why why, WHY?


Standby for rant about people seeing no problem with being 2000 agl 17 miles from an airport at 250 knots.
