Cockpit toxicity

Scary stuff, but must admit I don't know of too many local crews who have suffered the same fate. Check it out on

Boarded by whom? Why? Did someone think the poisoning was drunkenness? Did a pax allege he was poisoning them? Please explain!

Health and safety

I'm glad the new generation aircraft B787 is already addressing this subject and I hope that all the other manafucturers will come up with solutions to overcome all problems related to provide healthy safe flights.
