For all you 'new' MD88 Captains (who are a threat to our very existence), please, I beg you, run the damned APU!
Holy Mother of God, a thousand times yes!!!
It may be cool enough outside for the ramp to not put on the air, and it may be ok in the cabin before you start boarding- but if there is even a little humidity, those 150 or so self-loading heaters coming on make it quickly unbearable!! Please, please, please have mercy of those of us in polyester!!
