Flybe, non existent Duty of Care.

http://www.flightglobal.com/articles...xic-gas-p.html

In a statement, Flybe said: "Any incidents involving sickness experienced by cabin crew, flight crew or passengers are taken very seriously by the company, with appropriate medical support always provided."

Yeah rite! If they were that concerned then Flybe would send the crew to a medical facility that could actually detect the chemicals that they have been exposed to, rather than the local A&E which haven't a clue. But that would cost money and then they would be accountable once the level of exposure had been determined.

Convenient then to send them to the local A&E, where a Carboxyhaemoglobin test is administered hours after the event and therefore pretty irrelevant, as by that time all the readings will be pretty much back to normal again.

Passengers are "Not Informed", so how are they able to seek the appropriate medical advice?
