I notice when I Non-Rev the Cabin is VERY drafty - many folks grabbing sweaters etc - me included.

What techniques do you 737 drivers use in managing the Recirc Fans? Does running them Off do any harm? More fuel use? Will Off make the Cabin less drafty?

Your profile says that you're a 737 Captain - shouldn't we be asking you this question?
