That’s the way I see things. There’s nothing to cover in a weather room that can’t be covered at the plane where you can actually get more things done. With the weather getting hot and the jetway air conditioning units being what they are, I go to the plane and crank the apu. The LUAL guys that I’ve flown with have either given up expecting us to go to the weather room, or they have come around to our way of thinking. Either way, I’ve never been questioned by anyone.
