For those of you not in BALPA, you will be pleased to know that the whole contaminated air issue has been finally resolved by our BALPA experts.
Its actually Hyperventilation... I am not joking, but this is the new BALPA view announced today.
I would find this funny but for the simple fact I knew Karen from her time on the 737. Her memorial service was last week, she had been diagnosed with Aerotoxic Syndrome by her medical doctor and yet a week later, BALPA have the total disrespect to her family and to all of us, to say its all Hyperventilation.
I am on the bus and it frequently has the distinct oil smell. Do we put on oxygen, usually not, we all accept its the norm, but I will from now as clearly all BALPA will do is send me a paper bag!
Its not rocket science to work out that inhaling heated engine oils will give off toxic chemicals and carcinogens.
