No matter now. I'm done with it. If I see the vents closed the APU comes on, hot or cold, 5 prior or 90 prior, rain or shine. They don't want to change the FM, no longer my concern.
Agree.
737-900 in IAH or any other hot climate, that APU has to be on and packs full cold (without freezing them which is fun) at least 30 prior to boarding. You shove 180+ people into that thing it turns into a sauna in no time.
