Two Cathay Pacific captains lose eyesight during flights
Two Cathay Pacific captains lose eyesight during flights, sparking investigations by Hong Kong’s Air Accident Investigation Authority
Front page news in the SCMP today.
Any connection between the two incidents? No aircraft type mentioned. Possible Toxic Air syndrome again?

Both ate the chicken ???
Also heard from my usual source that the head of CX PR Dept has been "moved on" after the cabin crew sackings and pilot blinding press reports. The CEO's performance on BBC Radio was very poor trying to explain the recent sackings. Very unconvincing.

Sounds like they may have been so fatigued or dehydrated that they didn't have enough oxygen to produce Rhodopsin. Human beings need more O2 at night to produce Rhodopsin for night vision...

VR-HFX: How would you know? The AAIA was established 7 months ago, the Chief Inspector is an expat with an impressive background in air accident investigation so where’s your where’s your evidence?
FFS- More a tongue-in-cheek dab at the CAD and the DG who was in the role until DS arrived. Hope he can navigate the politics as well as his NZ PM has been doing recently. I wish him luck. Cheers.
