Sun 7/08, DFW-DTW, mid-afternoon. As we taxi out, from the captain:
"Please lower your window shades. It's pretty hot outside, and this will help keep the cabin cool until after takeoff".
Anyone else heard this before?

After landing in a Eagle Saab. I guess they do not have a ground power pack or something and could not run the AC without the engines running. So they wanted to keep it cool for the next flight..
