I wasn't the only one.

But nice attempt to say how much regionals suck, when mainline sucks just as much and makes passengers lives miserable.

The aircraft I fly has a digital readout of the temperature on the EICAS. It's in Centigrade, but even us lowly regional guys can figure it out. With math.

This isn't an us versus them. We were having a conversation on this topic on the United forum. After dead heading the other day, I thought it was worthy to introduce it on this forum as well. Those who want to make it an us vs them are not part of the solution.

Comments about PSA's acars messages goes to the level of pilot pushing over safety and comfort.

Last I checked, the policy at the place I work at was that anytime the aft passenger door is closed, the APU "shall" be on.

Enjoy your sweat box.

Which mainline would this be? I have never heard anyone being called by the CP to explain his/her APU use. And unless the airplane is sitting at the gate for a few hours, I leave the APU running. I have also delayed passenger boarding if the airplane is to hot. I don't care how ****ed off the gate agents get. No one needs to sit in a 200 that is so hot that it causes possible physical issues.

Fantastic employer/employee relations over here.

Is that what S/E taxi means? All this time I thought it meant SouthEast taxi.

When you take it personally it makes it difficult to discuss it doesn't it.
