PIT-MSY 3 daily non-stops on USAir (a 737-400, a Fokker 100, and an MD-80)
We continued with PIT-MSY well into the 90's. When the livery was changed to dark blue, MSY was a miserable place to be on the ground in a F100 in July because the AC system was designed for a European climate. At one point the aircraft were modified with additional vents, but all they seemed to do was make a racket and blow the hot air around some more. The aircraft also had a habit of forming condensation in the ducts on the ground, which would then freeze. It sounded like marbles rolling around the overheads, and little chunks of ice would fly out of the vents onto people.

Yup.
