The APU costs about $20 to start up, but Alaska would rather have pax sit on a 90 degree airplane sweating. They might work better in the winter but they definitely cannot keep a plane cold.

Make sure the recirculation fan is off when it's plugged in.

The dash is my favorite plane yet and I'm sure one day I'll fly something better but until then I do like this plane a lot.

You'll probably upgrade quick, if you have prior Part 121 experience.

I have my 1000 121 time, so I will probably sit right seat for a couple months to learn the plane, then put in for upgrade.
