Yeah it's an interesting thing. It's funny to see a WestJet 787 push off one of our new gates after burning ~1,000 kg with their APU, and an Air Canada 787 comes a bit later and they immediately hook up to bridge power, complete their turn and leave with their airplane seemingly unharmed. Funny how that works. Guess it's a drop in the bucket when their annual burn systemwide is ~1.2 billion litres.
