I sure hope so because I NEVER want to ever again experience the pure hell of my previous job with 6 legs a day in SJU in a PC-12 which didn’t do jack to cool anything even at full power. Absolutely worse than flying a 172 in Fla in summer since at least there you can open windows.
The Swiss must think it’s in the 50s everywhere in the world with such a crappy air conditioning system😡😡
