The truth...

"safetypee" is perhaps not aware that a source in BALPA has told me that earlier this year they took some CO readings on a BAe 146 over several flights and the data on top of the range kit showed that the BAE tests were nonsense as BAE said readings were always 0 but BALPA guys got alot higher reading with headaches etc...

I agree with Woodpecker "Good on BALPA!"

"safetypee" forgets that BAE have had Service Bulletins on this issue since 1984!

"safetypee" forgets that at the 2000 Oz Senate Hearing BAE stated that no one modification would solve the problem completely.

Why are all BAe 146 aircraft not fitted with the protective activated carbon filter that is an option? Why does the CAA not protect crews and make the option mandatory. Mind you if you read the rubbish that makes up the CAA Cabin Air Quality paper you soon learn they dont care much.
