If you aren't there when I'm ready to leave the apu is getting shut down. I'll wait a minute or two even. It isnt my job to sit there and babysit the apu until you show up. Don't assume I just barely got off the plane and immediately shut it down.
Tell me you weren't waiting 5 extra minutes specifically babysit the APU till the outbound crew showed up. If you were you are working way to hard for something that really isn't that big of a deal. Next time just shut the damn thing down. If the next crew gets ****y, just smile and give them a "good bird, smooth rides, have a great one" as you walk right on up the jetbridge.

If having a running APU if so important for this captain that he feels getting worked up over it is important I sat the onus is on him to get to his inbound early.

OR, instead of waiting around 5 minutes with his/her finger up his/her nose they could have taken 30 whole seconds and walked up the jetway into terminal and see if there was some sort of a hold up with the paperwork or the agent or security etc. Honestly, this stuff isn't that hard.

I believe the guy stated that he did walk up to the gate and didn't see anyone up there

indeed he did. This is a cliche Compass issue. It's stupid and trivial and people are running with it. Why?

If you aren't at the bottom of the jet Bridge ready to board when my FAs are walking up with their bags the switch goes off. Captains, you've got a minute to make it down... Or at least ONTO the jet Bridge. The rest is on you.

Really, though, I'm done talking about this, AO, or skywest.

Being one of the "leave it running" guys i think what you did was more than reasonable

With the terminal 3 expansion at PHX it does makes sense... but I can think of about 3-4 other bases that make sense as well.

He was flying this week so maybe his pattern had him operating out of PHX
