Dear Lomapaseo.

"Firstly you have to have an accident".

There has been one, the airline did not report it to AAIB however. (I was hospitalised/incapacitated so could not report it myself). AAIB now refer the matter to the CAA, who refer it to HSE who refer it to AAIB. Not everything gets investigated properly.

My point is to agree with you when you state that the problem is aviation wide. Fume contamination into the cockpit/cabin makes people ill. I am still receiving disability support four years later. My aircraft was not a jet, did not have bleed air/pressurisation. Contamination can come from a range of sources.

Andrew.
