You are right that it's the Captains jet. But one that requires an F/O too. Who, in my case wouldn't work in unacceptable environmental conditions in the cockpit. Originally Posted by Check 6

You can either start the APU, hook up the huffer or get a new F/O.
There is not one IPA Captain that I ever flew with that had a problem with the F/O starting the APU upon arrival at the jet. In fact, most would jokingly say that you better have the jet hot/cold when they get back from their walkaround.
As for the coffee, I have no problem making someone coffee that asks for it and is genuinely not expecting it to be done for them because they are the Captain and he is ordering me to make it. You can KMA in that regards.
It's no wonder why you guys have the reputation of being just as arrogant as Delta pilots are.
And for the threat of taking my legs away.... Go ahead. I get paid the same to talk as to fly.
