Glad this story hasn't been forgotten

"The family of a British Airways pilot who fatally overdosed on sleeping pills after allegedly inhaling poisonous engine fumes are leading a wave of lawsuits being brought against the airline.

Richard Westgate was 43 when he died in 2012 following, according to his family, 'mysterious pains and numbness in his limbs and head' which were caused by exposure to toxic gases that drove him to swallow sedatives to relieve the suffering.

Fresh legal proceedings spearheaded by Mr Westgate's loved ones and backed by almost 100 airline employees have now been brought before the High Court in a 'huge' case which could cost BA tens of millions of pounds."
