I think it is a similar problem with our A330's.
This was talked about on crew voice a couple of months ago and I recall someone from engineering advising that it was being addressed.
As was highlighted in the latest FAAA OH&S newsletter, we need some knitwear or similar for use on all aircraft where is is very cold in the galleys and crewrest.
Unfortunately it seems management are being ridiculous and suggesting we should be wearing thermal underwear!
What are they suggesting, we put on thermals after the meal service, or do they think we should be wearing them all the time, even in tropical climates?
