Hot cabins
 

Always appreciate the rides, but I gotta say something...

Not gonna mention the airline.

Last 3 commutes on this airline, passenger cabin was unbearably hot. Everytime, APU not started until just before departure. Today was the exception... Crew started the APU only after an elderly pax fainted from the heat. I'm not joking, the flight attendant on the exit row was having sweat drip down her neck.

Just a reminder it's summer. The ground air doesn't keep 100+ passengers cool in a humid environment.

Wash, rinse, repeat.

I'm trying iced coffee for the summer months!

Plane Coffee

Also on large-cabin airplanes like the A321 or 737-800, please DO NOT shut down the APU until the majority of the airplane has deplaned!

Yep I was deadheading on a company aircraft. Gpu got plugged in and the pilots shut down the apu and split. No AC plugged in til I was almost out the door and I was in the back third of the plane. It was stifling.

It will just get worse as fuel prices continue to rise...

They had a commute to catch. Can’t blame em.

They could’ve left it running and left

Every carriers I’ve worked with prohibit leaving the aircraft unattended, with the APU running, unless maintanance is present at the aircraft or a crewmember is in the cockpit.

But profit sharing!

Can’t do that on my airplane so forget that was an option lol.
