I guarantee there are dozens of examples we can find where senior managers at Airways could save the company money - but instead opt to 'take it easy' because they feel secure enough in their jobs. Why focus on the expenses when you KNOW that your revenue will return this year?
I fly the airplanes, and let them mange the airline. The people running Airways are a lot smarter than I and are under lots more pressure.
How much money would be saved if pilots shut down their APUs, when properly equipped with air and power? Over one year, a lot more than 2 million I bet.

It would by 200 air conditioning cart, but you'd need to hire some rampers to hook them up with at least 5 kinks in the hose.
