I found the article from ninemsn slightly amusing.
"He said he was thinking about the Qantas flight last week, in which 70 passengers were injured when a Perth-bound aircraft plunged hundreds of feet, and that other passengers may have had similar thoughts."
And "Air" Emirates?? Get it right.

Geez, 2.5 hours and they were 'just about to cross the coast'.... for all the conspiracy theorists out there, wouldn't that put them up near Learmonth??? 
I love how pax say crew were 'running around the plane'. Well if the smell was, in fact, burning and strong, I think I'd want the crew to be doing something about it instead of continuing on as normal. I highly doubt crew would 'run'.... 'rush'maybe... but not run...

Post fume event medical assistance?
Fume events have in the past caused serious ill health in both aircrew and passengers.
A Health Protocol has recently been published to assist anybody who has been exposed to neurotoxic chemicals in flight.
Good luck.

CX A330 aircraft often deny boarding to 10-12 pax due weight problems out of Brisbane to Hong Kong flights to protect fresh seafood cargo, which generates a higher revenue than pax; even taking denied boarding compensation into the equation. Not so good for staff travel where no compensation is offered or paid.

I can assure you that there are a couple of the 345s with the fumes snag. May be familiar with your background. Lets hope it gets sorted.
