You are correct. It still baffles me why I get handed an airplane from another crew in Dallas with an OAT of 39 and no APU running. That's not looking out for your fellow crews, our FA's, or our customers. It's hot, fuel is cheap, so run the damn APU. Also, for our super Captains who are working so hard trying the save the company money, don't get ****y with me in ORD when I key up and call 'unable' when told to line up and wait when you decided to save the company $40 on fuel by calling for engine #2 30 seconds from the runway. I won't be rushed running the Before Takeoff and will burn through whatever savings you made making sure my aircraft and myself are configured and ready to go.
