I realize it's hard to keep aircraft cool, but this is an extreme.
It was warm but not hot in Cleveland, but no, I thought it was fine, then the A321 out of ATL was crazy hot until 45ish minutes in the air. But it did have power I guess.
(Really, it's the quality of the ground air. ATL was weak - felt the same after we pushed as it did early in boarding - nothing much from the ground air at T8.)
