What?? Im 99.9% sure we work for the same dump, and I have never heard a THING about running the APU. Havent been "written up" by a part time ramper either. I run the APU's all spring/summer. Every leg. PCA available or not.
Until APU usage is restricted in our FOM/FSM, I will continue to do so. Im sure the idiot(s) who chose to buy these PCA's sits in a well air conditioned office.
