And while we're at it, why are people powering the aircraft with the GPU when the APU is already running? I get that it saves 4 tablespoons of gas per hour, but I've already lost count of how many times the ground crew has pulled the GPU without asking and sent the airplane into Spaz Mode.
Then that is a larger issue than just the minute amount of fuel, its a systemic safety issue having potential negative consequences that needs to be addressed via a safety report to R.E. If you have "lost count" and not submitted a safety report (maybe you already have), then you are part of the problem that isn't being fixed.
