You’re not flying them to enough hot spots. Was a regular thing on the 320 in the Boston Bruce Darwin base days.
There was an FSO around 2013 to comply with the FCOM procedure (flap 1 > 30C) after an east coast heat wave. This was quickly cancelled after an airbus verse tanker incident or so the story goes.
