You said it was an old guy complaining.... I think he has the full right to complain.. Maybe not as bad as you describe it, but he paid for a ticket and doesnt want to sweat is a$$ off....
After all.... Old people die first in extreme heat....
I absolutely agree, who's a$$ is it gonna be when someone dies from the heat? The PIC, thats who. I actually had a guy have a heart attack coming out of Hilton Head one day because it was so hot back there. He lived, but he should not have been in the situation to start with. These companies couldn't care less about their pax, so it is up to us as crew members to refuse to take an airplane that has a broken APU and its hot out.
