Wow, guys, calm down.
But thank you: you have both illustrated my point beautifully.
Can either of you remember why we use Flex thrust on most take-offs rather than TOGA? If you said 'To reduce engine wear and stress to extend engine life'; go to the top of the class.
The more gently you use them the longer they will last. Same principle applies to APUs, but of course Airbus or Sunstrand don't care how many replacement APUs your company has to buy.
