No idea why Captains think it's a fine idea to start the APU 5 min before push with no air on a full plane. Yesterday, on a flight I was on, the APU spun up minutes prior to push and the packs remained off until after engine start. Nowadays, as soon as I get on the plane and it's hot, I make a left and say "Hey Guys! It's really hot back here!" I usually get a surprised stare.
Customer service Captains!
I do the same as you. and I get the same surprised stare you get.
and it's always a 5'7 little fat guy with a Texas drawl in the left seat.
just noting what I seem to always observe on my deadheads
