Found this on another site. interesting comment if anyone would care to talk about it. Is -DAA out for a check at the moment?

IAD – MAD Aer Lingus – Aerotoxic Syndrome

The last flight taken on this route from Washington to Madrid had all bathrooms on the left side of the plane broken. This is just disgraceful as even Business Class passengers did not have a working restroom in their cabin even and they were paying top dollar for those seats. This airline is sending out broken planes that are not maintained properly.

Previous to this flight on this same route we experienced a vapor that came into the back cabin. This occurred just after take off after a ground mechanical delay over an engine which was experiencing problems with it’s reverse thrusters and bleed air valves. Yet, they took the plane out anyway. Shortly, after take off the entire back cabin and crew began to experience back of the head spasms, upper respiratory problems, followed by severe nausea and uncontrolled violent regurgitations.

This occurred on the Aer Lingus aircraft with tail number DAA which flew the route during the exposure period from Dec 13th thru Jan 11th. It has since been taken off line and is now in Dublin for deep cleaning and repairs. The company is now under investigation with the FAA and the Irish Aviation Authority over this incident. Crew members have been undergoing blood testing and so far the first test results show atleast one so far with high toxic levels of carbon monoxide poisoning in the blood cells. TCP Tricresyl Phosphate testing results are still pending.

This information has been posted on other sites and the company has removed it as they are trying to cover up and suppress this information from getting out to the crew members and passengers who were on this aircraft during that period.
