It was a JetBlue A320 and I had zero say in the situation I was riding in the back. The PCA air was broken on the jetbrige and they didn’t have a mobile cart. It was summer in FL. Captain made a gate PA explaining what was going on. It was incredibly loud on the jetbridge. But the plane was somewhat cool. Better than a regular working max 9. Hence my comment.
