How is it honorable to allow old ladies to sweat it out in the back. For what, so your executives can get a few extra million each quarter or save some tree in the amazon. I always will start the apu if there is not a working aircart.
I don't think he's immortalizing but every little bit does make a difference.
Also, My experience is that it's not the little old lady who will be uncomfortable. You can't get it hot enough for them. When my grandmother was in her late 90's she used to sit with a blanket when the temp was in the 90's.
