Anybody who needs convincing, is more than welcome to join me for a week on one of our offending aircraft ( All things being equal). As I seem to be "the only one" who appears to "Ride" on the same aircraft for the whole tour, whilst the rest of the crew normally seem to get assigned and dispersed to other aircraft during their tour. This almost certainly helps alleviate their problem but not unfortunately mine.

I think that the results that Balpa have obtained recently,
show that there is no doubt at all about the Contaminated Air that we breath in on a daily basis.

What is needed now is to convince the owners of the offending aircraft ( The Airlines ) that fitting the appropriate Carbon Filters is the only solution to the problem. They are there ready to be fitted and have been for several years now.

I know it is Expensive and a hard pill to swallow but it will be far, far, cheaper than any ongoing litigation from any Public or Private Law Suites that will inevitably follow.
You only have cast your minds back to the Asbestos and Cigarette industrial fiasco's.
