About 4 weeks ago we had several passengers taken off of a single aircraft due to extreme heat. Last week I flew 7 legs with no APU and a minimum cabin temp of 95, once or twice seeing it reach 115. On at least one flight I had major concerns about an elderly passenger.

On that note, why didn't the Captain refuse the aircraft? That is a serious safety hazard for the pax. I have had two flights where a bleed was MEL'ed and we were going to PSP where it was over 100. My Capt told dispatch to get us another aircraft or we would defer the flight until they swapped us. So they did, and pretty quick too!
