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? (Sorry, not allowed post the link) |
The article I read stated the aircraft types, so probably unrelated causes. Concerning nonetheless. STP |
Happened on two of our longest 2 crew duties on the network . Fatigue , dehydration, tiredness. All result in loss of vision |

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. |
Can’t see what the problem is. |
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...

Some of you guys are very one Eyed......:} |
Eye hope they’re ok. |
Let's not lose sight of the big picture, which is, of course, that the company is to blame for everything.

HK Air Accident Investigation Authority investigating...the blind leading the blind springs to mind.

The comments here are all so short sighted that you can’t see the wood for the trees! b. |
Can we not look at this issue thru tinted glasses but rather from a different angle.
|
Yeah fun’s over, how about we spare a thought for our two colleagues..... ok. |
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.
