Does anybody implement any possible remedies such as

  • Wear one of those surgical masks (not sure how effective these will be against the gaseous substances)
  • Air purifier in apartment
  • Stay indoors (effective?)
  • Commuting from other neighbouring regions (probably financially ruinous given the current pay offerings)
  • Seek basing (unsure how likely this is for a new joiner after FO upgrade)
  • Full facial respirator/gas mask - Nah just kidding
As you can imagine, it is a very tough call deciding whether to seek the 'foot in the door' with a major airline at a young age, and put up with the pollution, or perservere at home for a considerable period of time for the chance to do the same in AUS minus the pollution.

Appreciate the helpful input thus far.
