Also I wasn't clear about APU bleed usage, I mean on taxi out. it makes a big difference in LAS. Single engine with APU bleed on means you barely touch the brakes at all all the way down to 26R. Try it and see.
But then again, crews that go 2 engine with brake temps at 250 at the gate to then sit in a line up of 10+ just don't care.
That’s it man, some guys don’t care.
And yeah, on a taxi out in LAS i always have the APU bleed on. I’ll be on one engine for brake temps and the APU bleed on opens the cross valve to power the #2 pack to keep the plane cool.
But like you said, step 1 is just caring about the next crew.
