So it's another case of a lawyer who's making some noise.
I wouldn't be so sure. I was on a BA flight from Heathrow to the States last November, and the aircon couldn't be turned on for a good 45 minutes after boarding. It got unbearably hot.
KLM have a habit of not putting on the aircon until they're fully boarded, too, at least on the AMS-LHR route - it's the reason I never board until the last possible minute!
