We used to have fun with the loadmasters. Cool would be a load-cicle and hot would be a load-kabob

Agreed!

Passengers will be happier, crew will be happier and work better.

At awac turns under 1 hr apu stayed on. I think the cycles are worse for the apu but I'm sure someone realized they save money

Back in the day, my regional determined that 17 minutes was the break even point for (CRJ) APU cost, fuel burn vs. start cycle wear and tear cost. More than 17 minutes, shut it down. Obviously dependent on fuel cost, and it was pretty high back then. Being FFD they didn't really care as much for pax comfort, unless mainline put it in the contract.

Greetings Ya'lllllllllllll! Long time listener, first time caller....

Funny story... thought I had a standing bid and apparently I don't! Hahahahah waaaaahhhh

How screwed am I? I've had a line for the last three months. Will I automatically get reserve? I get a line without bidding "avoid reserve" so does that still happen?
Also if I do just get a random line.... what are the odds its just as good/bad as my intricately strategized bid from last month? hahaha

Probably be the best line you’ve ever had. You’ll still get a line in all seriousness.
