Or you could wait to turn on the bleed during your parking flow and have your CA immediately reach up and turn it on.

Or you can not turn the bleed on at all and shut down the apu without a 3 minute cool down period...

Just got off another DH with no air the entire deplaning. Choking on your seat mate’s got breath for 20min is lovely. Take care of your fellow crew and passengers, it rank back there away from the door with no air when the OAT is above 50F

And it can’t be for fuel savings if on the same flight we are rattling the overheads of the ceiling with full reverse to get off at the first turn on. 10,000ft runway


Sorry just grumpy after a 4 day. Where’s the two day trips spirit??

Why can we do it after the second engine start then? No waiting 3 mins there...

It’s two minutes, and it runs on its own for those two minutes after you’ve deselected the master.

What do you propose? Pilots aren't going to wait around for every passenger to get off.

Systems knowledge and common sense has no place here.

Why is your DH in the back of the plane? DH on spirit should be booked at the time it’s put on your schedule. They are to be window or isle at front of the plane. Also 24 hours prior you are to be given big front seat of available. Also emergency exit if flight is over 3 (?) hours...

What's this 24 hour rule? CBA 8.B.4 says you'll be upgraded to BFS "at the gate"
Nothing bout 24 prior

The full reverse to probably to keep the brake temp down for the next crew. I assume you wait until every pax gets off with the APU running, or make sure the ground air is hooked up and working before you leave right?
