I had this exact situation happen years ago in ORD in the summer. APU INOP and no PC Air available. I refused to board the aircraft. I actually had to pull out our FOM to back up my position.

My solution was add an 1000lbs of extra gas. Start number 2 at the gate, cool the plane off and then board. Cooler heads prevailed and that’s what did, don’t be pressured. Be a CAPTAIN
