Hi,
I actually flew that very sector on a B737 delivery flight from Seattle to Australia.
As previously highlighted, the APU operation is airline specific as I know the two airlines that I have flown for had differing policies. However, on the delivery flight I mentioned, the APU was left running after start and selected off within 400nm of Honolulu.
This flight to Australia was in a 737-800. The previous airline that I flew for, we operated ETOPS on 737-300s.
Cheers
Owen
