Jindo,
Have you given any of this feedback to your medico?.
He may become a ppruner.
If so, maybe you could ask him some more specifics on this inner ear bleeding. Which side of the eardrums, flow, other surrouding inflamations etc etc. Just finished a dive course in cairns?
What previous history did these particular patients have of ear problems. Did they also notice a change of taste when vegemite was sold?.
It's interesting that it's been mentioned, but I doubt the aircraft has anything to do with it. Or the operator. Virgin operate B737 aircraft the same as alot of other airlines, they would also be reporting similar problems.
I'm continuously amazed by the misconceptions of the average punter. I had a guy sitting next to me one day tell me that they wind the engines up on turnaround for the next start. He'd seen the fan windmilling and worked it out by himself.
Were any first flyers?
