I'm sure at some point there was a GPU available for this. Was that left out?

I can't recall a GPU, but there is essentially an APU in the aircraft.

Yes I relize that there is an apu in the aircraft but it can't remotely even keep up with a cooled off cockpit. So thats why I think there would have been an option for a high power GPU in hot environments. I just think its very inefficiently to start most of the time all four engines to cool the cabin off for the passengers. And if you use real time loading as I do, the cabin reheats quickly. Just my thoughts.

I know what GPU means bud. ;)

I just don't have anything significant to add. I'm not at the level to make any decisions.
