You Guppy drivers......amateurs, complete amateurs. Summer happens every year gents, we’ve already covered this. It’s time for you guys to wake the &:/k up and learn to keep the cabin comfortable for the passengers.
This has been a public service announcement.

I hear ya. For me the APU comes on the second I get on it if ground air can’t keep up. Problem is unless the plane is fairly new the damn packs can’t give you air cold enough to cool the cabin. Many times I throw them on high to get it colder but all that effort is lost once the bleeds are on the engines at idle. If they serviced the packs more often they would work just fine. The new birds have no problem but forget it if you get one of the earlier 800’s.

The bean counters know this and they are the ones who decide which airframes we buy...they don’t give a bleep about your precious hearing.

Perhaps you need to council and mentor all plane drivers at U.......
If you don’t like the 737, please don’t bid it. If you think it’s hot in back, politely stick your head in the pit, introduce yourself and inform the pilots it’s hot in back.
Oh, and don’t be such a.......

The mid continent US fuel stop because it can’t go transcontinental in a head wind AND have gas for an alternate (More than once)
Notice they stopped saying that “guppy saves $2m a year” crap almost as soon as they started? Meanwhile DAL, B6, NK, AA.... all buying NEOS. Us, and SWA because they have no other choice the guppy. Based on performance the last few years I know whose bean counters are better.

You can hate the 737 all you want my friend. But I start the APU when it’s needed.....that would certainly be EVERY FLIGHT I operate this time of year. And any other place like BDL this morning on a stifling hot aircraft.
I would actually call anyone who paints a pilot who is on BES x y or z in need of mentoring unprofessional.
That would be you sir. Your definitely a pro at that. Good on ya.

Yes, AND lack anything that resembles a sense of humor too!

Only people I know that flew the U2 were FAIPs, and we all know how much “experience” and knowledge they had.
