But in this case, I don't think it applies. It's a US domestic flight. Likely the air conditioning unit was malfunctioning. But until the OP comes back with the other flight (and see if it is still within a recallable history) we won't know.
I woke up on SIngapore airlines once in a sweat as it was so hot. In my sleepy state I called out..."Why is it so hot in here"!
