Toxic Fumes in Cabin

I have just heard reported that there are meanwhile 15 Thomas Cook UK pilots who have lost crew medicals due to Organo Phosphate engine fumes poisoning on airliners.

I am aware of the existing web sites and medical studies that exist with ongoing research.

However, where is all this leading for the future and just why is everything kept so deliberately hush hush. There appear to be about 2% of the population vulnerable through their DNA.

The insurance implications for class action seem worrying.

Let me guess ... B757 pilots?

where is all this leading
It seems that Boeing is returning to the technical solution that existed 40 or 50 years ago on the B707 and on the DC8. The new Dreamliner no longer uses Bleed Air from the engines for Pressurization and Air Conditioning.

kept so deliberately hush hush
Doubt that the issue will ever come to be officially admitted.
Admitting that the problem exists just cannot be allowed to happen. Liability risks would be beyond belief.

Where have you heard this reported?
Is this news or rumour?
