Airbus Cabin Temperature Issue
With the company’s addition of the extended overhead bins on the Airbus fleet, we have identified a design flaw with these extended bins and the aircraft cabin temperature probes. The probes on the Airbus fleet are being obstructed and are unable to determine a correct cabin temperature. This has resulted in uneven temperatures throughout the cabin, which are difficult to control. The United Master Executive Council (MEC) Safety Health and Security (SHS) Committee has addressed this issue with the company. As a result, Engineering was made aware of the problem, and has started relocating the temperature probes on the Airbus fleet in an attempt to resolve the issue.
