This story brings back memories of the reputation the 777-200 got at a certain airline for making crew members ill/dizzy, most especially "down the back". It almost became an article of faith that if you worked at Door 4 you would become ill/breathless at some point of the flight and crew would happily share stories about how bad it always was on the triple....As I recall it no other airline reported having the same problem, the ride quality and air circulation was looked at in some detail but I don't think any definitive cause was found and over the years the story had died a death and the "epidemic" disappeared...wonder what's going to happen on my next flight....

It certainly gets entertaining when everybody "knows" a certain aircraft makes you sick/dizzy/breathless if you work down the back, and then one person falls genuinely ill......
