Welcome Aboard Toxic Airlines
It's about time this scandal came to the public's attention. Well done to the filmmaker. A mate of mine who works for one of the major airlines said this is a hidden issue the crews are too terrified to talk about but know it's happening big time.
Liked the piece in the Daily Telegraph the other week.

We pay you way & fill those seats and you need to start listening to us no matter what the Government is saying. We are watching this space.
I can't get to the screening tomorrow, but am sure plenty will be watching. Well done for caring for us- Just the fare paying passenger!!

I REALLY SHOULDN'T BE HERE
2,500 members out of a global flightcrew population of how many hundreds of thousands?
A research paper (Escobar JI, Gara M, Waitzkin H, Silver RC, Holman A, Compton W (1998)) suggests that hypochondria affects 3% of the population.

Speedrestriction,
yes, there is a condition called monosymptomatic hypochondriacal delusional disorder; however, as a medical doctor, I can vouch for the adverse affects that chronic exposure to organophosphates have on cognitive function.
We should applaud the author of this book for bringing to light something that the public has a right to know. After reading his book, I hope to meet the author oneday. Thanks for revealing this health concern that already does, and will continue to cost the NHS 100's of 1000' of Pounds!

Maybe they do have an affect, but TOCP has a very low vapour pressure and a boiling temp far in exceedance of the average bleed air - so how does it get there? In addition to this it only makes up 10-15 percent of the oil so what would you quantify chronic exposure as? The CoT couldn't even decide on what quantities would be needed, both long and short-term exposure.
I love playing devil's advocate

Welcome Aboard Toxic Airlines - Oxford 16 March
Many of our members have asked us to post the following:
Feature documentary: Welcome Aboard Toxic Airlines
Oxford: Phoenix Picturehouse Cinema – Sunday 16 March 2008 - 1.30pm
http://www.picturehouses.co.uk/news_...Id=oxfd&id=880
A very Modern Scandal:
Is this the biggest scandal in airline history? Are airlines having to face up to their own 'asbestos-style' crisis or is this an 'Erin Brockovich of the skies'? For almost 50 years passengers and crews have been supplied with unfiltered air to breathe, taken directly from the aircraft engines, even though this air has long been known to be contaminated with neurotoxins, carcinogens and other hazardous chemicals.
With unique access to the aviation industry, Tristan Loraine, filmmaker and former airline captain, reveals for the first time the serious consequences this exposure has had on flight safety, and passenger and crew health, including his own.

A Smelly business.
It would be interesting if some people with specialist knowledge could post here, as the establishment seems to be in denial. If they're right it would be good to hear it confirmed from those with no axes to grind.
I know of rather too many people who've quite clearly been affected by life on 146s/757 for it to be a coincidence in my view. At the moment I'm inclined to lean on my granny's principle of, "No smoke without fire."
