Wow, I must see this place that makes Beer feel gross.

If Delta needs more 76 seat jets they can fly as many as they want with Delta pilots.
I agree with Capn and Reroute. If that was offered then we'd be closer to getting what we want in terms of scope then ever before.

True. Very true. But here is the thing about leaving an APU running and then walking away from the plane, what if something goes wrong and nobody was there? You could go from a contained event to an airplane write off or worse pretty quickly.
And I'm not so sure someone wants to spend time at the big squared off table explaining that they left the APU running that time because they always leave it running. Heck, I'm surprised (but very happy) we even leave the planes powered up on the GPU when we leave. Previously airline would skin you alive if you left a plane powered up and the GPU died and the batteries died, didn't matter if it was a mx base or not. But again, I enjoy doing it.
