In the past two weeks I have had the pleasure of flying on a 146/RJ twice. Diferent aircraft each time. Both times on entering the cabin the smell of oil was noticable. On the first flight the smell did not go untill we were well into the cruise. In fact the smell was almost un bearable for about 10mins.
On the second flight it was a little better. The cabin crew gave me a "customer satisfaction survey" to fill in. I did the decent thing by the crew but when it came to the "Coments" bit I said I was an aircraft engineer and knew of the problems the 146/RJ have had but I expressed my concern for the long tearm helth of the crews (Crawler!).
The next thing one of the crew came down and said they had read my coments (I thought they were confidential?). She said that they were all concerned about it and she had been suffering from headaches and dizzy spells since joining the RJ fleet.
Not knowing the 146/RJ is there a quick fix for this? or eaven a slow one?
