Aerotoxicity

Another Toxic Cabin Air Contamination event on an Airbus.

Got to love the taste of Tri Cresyl Phosphate as it poisons you on an Airbus.

Anyway, nothing to see here. Just move along...

Curious why some news reports are emphasizing on how it's an ex JQ aircraft, what does that have to do with anything?

QF's fleet is the oldest on average when compared with their main competitors. They stopped buying new airplanes to prop up the bottom line. Increased probability of malfunctions are the result.

Partial evacuation on the tarmac is an interesting option. Pays to sit up front I guess...

This will hurt them bad, probably the whole crew will be on workers comp, they are not a pleasant event.

It’s pretty well known within QF that they were Hangar Queens on their return to QF from JQ.

It’s fair to say that they were maintained to the absolute bare minimum while at JQ and took many months to get back up to standard.

Expect the same thing with some second hand 787-8s in the near future!

Better keep the Jumbos- turns out the good looking dinosaur is one of the most reliable in the fleet!

The Toxic Air enters the cabin, through the bleed air system. Bleed air system supplies hot air for the A/C system.

As engined get older, seals do not seal as good as they do when new. It is a well known fact for the seal manufacturers, however Airlines and Aircraft manufacturers, Airbus in this case, tend to kick the bucket down the road.

Airlines will generally bully and intimidate crews that take action due to Toxic Cabin Air Contamination, if this fails, go a long and costly legal process that renders crews' bankrupt unable to pursue workplace compensation for illnesses.

From what I understand, Qantas do take this seriously and pull aircraft off line to further investigate.

Why? Where’s your duty of care? You can't just punch someone and leave them there in the aisle.
You must skull drag them to the door also.

there was a (now deleted) video of that EK evac of one of the FAs booting a guy in the back of the knee because he stopped to put on his bag at the door... cheered so loud at that one it's a shame it got deleted

It would be an excellent move on micro level but I think it is time to take this trend into consideration when designing a new aircraft.
