Yes, it is fantastic in the summer at PHX. Board really early and then let passengers roast in the 115 degree heat (AS ground A/C is ineffective at the summer temps in PHX). Last time this happened, it was 90 degrees+ on the plane, even with the A/C going.
That said, at least they don't use remote gates at PHX.
