Angry Fumes from 146 Packs

I have to say that I have never been asked for my opinion about this in 20 years on the aeroplane and never been surveyed. I do know that it was started in Australia in the early 90's and carried on by a disgruntled Flybe Captain. None of the colleagues that I have spoken to (TNT, DAT, Titan, and others) have ever had a problem. That's a lot of hours on the little jet all over the world in all conditions. Don't try and blame your hangovers on the only aeroplane I know who's systems have never, ever, killed anybody. Think about it, and compare the record to 737 rudders, 747 fuel pumps, 767 reversers, Airbus fins, MD entertainment systems and centre engine failures and god knows how many 320 crashes due to software glitches. Yes they've crashed but system failure was not the cause.

Maybe we've all been lucky in our 30000 hours all told!!
