Just because it is cool outside doesn't mean it is cool in the cabin, people want some sort of airflow back there!! I always put myself in the pax shoes pretending I'm sitting back there deadheading and how I would feel. Also, I think you will burn more fuel leaving the engine running at the gate while waiting for ground power. And forget about getting air. We are not mainline! I already got a preview of the winter season, people flying PPAS with 100+ kt. headwinds. Better start increasing the block hour even more Comair! Some of these 25+ year Captains want to make money!
