Fire up the APU and run them packs full cold! :D

110?

That's a freezer in hell compared to what that damn greenhouse gets up to. 130 would be the minimum after 10-15 minutes.

EDIT: Wait...you knew that...haha how are ya man?
very true I think 110 is a little low for that furnace. Doing good man still flying the old 145.

if it was like the old HK birds I'm sure they would overload quickly.

Of all airline's for it to happen too....Eagle crews are nazis about keeping the a/c door locked if a pilot is not on the airplane, therefore, I'm sure Hitler over at centerport in DFW will have a pilot's head rolling for that one.

80% of the time, the ground air does nothing. I'm thinking that's why they left the door open in the first place...or they could have done the smart thing and use the APU, then keep the door closed.

Looks like its time for tsa to stomp off some more of your tat probes and pitots as part of their security tests. I'm sure there were plenty of smurfs on the scene texting and yelling incoherently.

Hypoxia will do it every time
 
Tonight's local TV news reported: "After a four-hour standoff, authorities cut off power and oxygen to the airplane, and the suspect surrendered." :p

They cut off the oxygen too huh? Isn't that a bit like waterboarding?:rolleyes:
