Being one of many worldwide whose mortgage is partly supported by 146 operations, I regularly browse the D & G forum for 146 news. Sadly, more often than not I read stories (and I use the word advisedly) regarding " the gaschamber" A couple of thoughts gentlemen............aviation world wide isn't great at the moment; we need to encourage people to fly as it keeps us in a job, not knock our products, and ............why does this issue seem to be more focussed in Aus than any other continent, country or indeed operator? Do NJS crew have callibrated noses? What percentage of fumes reported results in an engine or APU removal? With the utmost respect, how much of this is now so ingrained into you guys that it's now become second nature to sniff out smells?
In no way to I wish to compromise safe operation of the aircraft, however I do wonder if the Aus pilot population are just now over reacting to a managed and stable situation.
And "no" we don't get ABC on cable in Europe.
