FYI: it's Summer
"Summer is the hottest of the four temperate seasons, falling between spring and autumn" -Bureau of Meteorology
Sweating my ass off in the back all month, just an FYI if some didn't notice.

6. Leave the cockpit vents OPEN you morons! (Those of you who are in fact, morons and advertise that fact by leaving your fellow employees and paying customers a hot airplane.)
7. Leave the windshield sun protectors UP, newspapers, checklist cards, whatever.
8. When you get to the jet turn on the APU unless the plane is already ice cold. 120 + people put out a lot of heat and will be here soon.
9. Not one degree warmer than Willis Tower!
Same crap every year. I've lost faith in 70 percent of the guys who fly airplanes.

We (AA) have that procedure in our OM as a better way to cool the airplane when taxiing. Eng bleeds off, APU bleed on, packs on Auto (no need to go to High, they automatically go to high anytime on the ground with the eng bleeds off and the apu bleed on.) Standard procedure for summertime taxiing, esp in DFW and PHX.
only sucky thing is, you will be breathing in apu fumes as you taxi. But hey it's better than sweating.
