I have come across this Cpatain numerous times over the years but i still remember coming accross this Captain when i was working up in Narita on a very hot humid day. The cabin was literally 45 degrees. All the cabin crew, the FO and the SO were absolutely pissed off at this Captain because he wouldnt turn on the airconditioning packs 38 minutes before departure because his manual said 30 minutes before departure.
Wow, just like poster #5 said, very ANAL...to the nth degree, like some check airmen.
