At some point we use common sense, we act like airmen instead of drones.

check your fm. pretty sure you don't need to sit in plane calling ops to remove air "so you can start the apu"
. it's ok to call and start at samo timo. then as soon as they pull it, you can open apu bleed
what i always find is texas style guppy caps sittin up there :15 before departure with the cabin climbing thru 78 degrees and they act like starting the apu 10 min early will cost extra 20 bucks and will make the hedge fund guys have to downgrade from netjets g550 to Citation X and they just sit there and don't start the darn air cond
that's all I'm sayin pardner

I heard yesterday the 777 300s will have upstairs pilot bunks behind cockpit that include 2 beds and 2 reclining break seats with VOD. Also read an article today that the cabin will have the new all aisle BF using the newest recarro airline seats...

So, now you are sitting in the cockpit with a plane load of people. You have called zone once/twice to have the air pulled but it is still connected. External air is insufficient. Cabin temps while you are on the aircraft have risen to the mid to high 80's as you wait to run apu air. Your cabin is essentially heat soaked and you have 20 minutes to departure.
Would care like to expand on "exactly" as to what your next step, if any would be?
