Ask me how I know 
We could taxi all day at 72% N2 on the 145 to keep the packs pumping cool air. Never had a problem with brake temps doing that. Having said all of that, I have refused aircraft with pack 1 inop in the summer because of the heat in the cockpit...

Can't find a gate at your outstation??
Maybe it's not...not what the folks say, that the government and unemployment is paying people to stay home...maybe its that ground services pay absolute ****. $9.50 most outstations. Maybe MX pays **** for what they do. Yea MX just got a raise but it's still really hostile. Corporate is making a war over small things.

Edit- yup, it’s DGS. That company is a monument to how bad letting accountants run the show with 0 oversight can be.
