CargoRat,
as a non freightie can you tell me who compiles and is responsible for the update of the DG manual.
Is it IATA?
As I mentioned earlier after the Valujet incident the FAA got in on the act with a notice to Airlines but we got off because the DG manual had not been ammended and the agent was not on the FAA mailing list. I was in the US at this time so how was it handled in UK/EU.
I remember quite clearly during my intergogation - sorry interview with the Feds that the agents manual allowed up to three of these ( as I mentioned not called Oxygen generators but chloric chemical units) to be carried on a passenger aircraft.
I was just the innocent bystander as I had orderd 3 units from base ( Maimi no less!) and they shipped them. I was only involved because they were addressed to me.!!
