But yeah the commute does suck. I guess things were getting boring here. I read they cut off the power and air to get him out. Nothing like a 110 degree airplane to get someone out quickly.

Fire up the APU and run them packs full cold!

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.

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.
