I am a journalist researching the ongoing issue of contaminated air on passenger/commercial aircraft arising from engine oils. If you have any info, details of incidents of stories to tell (on or off the record) please email with details or contact info. All communication treated in strictest of confidence and sources protected. Happy to receive email . [email protected].

I know of an incident aboard a freighter where an unlucky crewman was overcome by a foul odor coming from a recently used lav :}

Sometimes the air on the flight deck gets contaminated for a few minutes (especially after 9/11 - cockpit door always closed and locked), it depends on what your fellow pilot has eaten...

I've never heard of the air supply being contaminated by engine oil :)

Crews in our company get gassed on a daily basis. The company do nothing, BAe do nothing, CAA do nothing, We have had several incapcitations this year. One day there will be a fatality. Only then will the authorties do something about it.:yuk:

Why would anyone continue to work in such a hazardous condition? I'd give 'em two weeks notice. :E

I am very surprised that MOR hasn't piped up yet, as he is normally very vocal on this issue. Telling all an sundry that there is not a problem and that because the "Fudged" government tests did not show any contamination on the aircraft that they "selected", that we must all be suffering from mass hysteria.
