Narrative:

As I taxied to the gate I remember looking up to see if the APU was running and it had just come on the line. I placed the APU bus switches to on and secured the right engine while waiting for parking personnel. After setting the parking brake, I secured the left engine. I called for the parking checklist while getting the 'chocks in' signal and the external power available signal from ground personnel. I responded to the checklist while I was putting the external power on the aircraft and shutting down the APU. The lead flight attendant entered the cockpit during this time frame seeking information on the aircraft swap and associated 'quick turn' that we were told to expect. To the best of my memory, the first officer read the parking checklist and I responded to it. I was somewhat preoccupied with the parking procedure at xa, the ground personnel being slow, the APU being late, a gate change request, an aircraft swap and a maintenance problem on the left engine that I needed to speak to maintenance about. The first officer was preoccupied with the ACARS dumping its program, having to respond to operations with correct times, notifying dispatch of the correct times and informing the flight attendants of the last min aircraft swap. To the best of my memory, I shut down both engines and correctly responded to the parking checklist, maintenance reported that the right engine was left running. Supplemental information from acn 380997: the mechanic shut down the engine and made a logbook entry.

TO THE BEST OF MY MEMORY, THE FO READ THE PARKING CHKLIST AND I RESPONDED TO IT. I WAS SOMEWHAT PREOCCUPIED WITH THE PARKING PROC AT XA, THE GND PERSONNEL BEING SLOW, THE APU BEING LATE, A GATE CHANGE REQUEST, AN ACFT SWAP AND A MAINT PROB ON THE L ENG THAT I NEEDED TO SPEAK TO MAINT ABOUT. THE FO WAS PREOCCUPIED WITH THE ACARS DUMPING ITS PROGRAM, HAVING TO RESPOND TO OPS WITH CORRECT TIMES, NOTIFYING DISPATCH OF THE CORRECT TIMES AND INFORMING THE FLT ATTENDANTS OF THE LAST MIN ACFT SWAP. TO THE BEST OF MY MEMORY, I SHUT DOWN BOTH ENGS AND CORRECTLY RESPONDED TO THE PARKING CHKLIST, MAINT RPTED THAT THE R ENG WAS LEFT RUNNING.
