This is really becoming tedious and it's no wonder that the mods lose patience....

This is not about the insecurities of those posting here.....this is about Galley temps being so cold that you have to wear several layers of extra clothing to keep warm other than those supplied by the company.....if you think about it,crew wearing blankets is not a good look and does not fit into the image the company wants the pax to see.

Lets' look at several facts....

The flight deck never gets this cold ...

The galley's are not controlled by either the flight deck or the FAP .....

The temp datum is set by the pilots but then is adjusted by Cabin Crew using the FAP to several degrees +/-.This is so that we do not have to bother the flight deck every 30 minutes or so and should not be misconstrued by pilots here as an attempt to over ride their authority.

A380-800 driver,to be honest I don't care if the drivers want to control the temp .If you as pilots feel your power is being usurped by Cabin Crew adjusting the cabin temp then do it and be prepared to have Cabin Crew call you several times an hour...

If the CSM does not have to do it then it's one less thing for Cabin Crew to do.This is not a pi$$ing contest .....

The problem could simply be fixed by either a tech mod or by supplying more clothing for the Cabin Crew.

Knowing the cost involved for a tech mod it would seem the easiest and cheapest fix would be to give the crew some extra clothing but as usual the Middle East will find peace before this happens....
