What kind of temperature controls does the 333 have? Can I ask the FA what temperature it's set to, or is it just "high" vs "low"? are there separate controls for different parts of the cabin?

While everyone so far has come down on the side of too hot I suspect we do have a gender imbalance on FT -- could everyone on this thread please disclose their gender so we can see if that argument holds water? I'm male.
It really depends on your cabin crew. On Singapore Airlines, whenever I ask them to lower the cabin temperature so that I can fall to sleep without feeling too hot, they are always happy to do it. However, I have had a few flights on British Airways and US Airways where I ended up having to ask the Cabin Services Director to do something about the cabin temperature because the rest of the crew refused.
