Anybody moved to 787 due to contaminated cabin air?

Hi fellow flying colleagues,

I do increasingly hear of fume events in my present outfit (B737-800) as well as pilots and cabin crew complaining about typical symptoms consistant with toxic air. Recently I was grounded due to a fume event for several weeks and wanna change something immediately.

My question is if anybody from you or known friends/colleagues moved to the 787 from any other conventional stinker-plane using bleed air and feel a good effect?
I came across 787-pilots who suddenly feel much more rested and well being despite of having longhaul ops with time zones and night flying. Is it a coincidence?

Would be great to discuss and share your experience as I think about a career change. The 787 is a last option to stay in business should it really be an improvement.

Thanks!

Well... The placebo effect is powerful, I am just as suspicious of the lubricants used in the 787 compressors as I am of the engine oil in the GE90 of the 777 I fly... The only reason I could imagine why crews feel more rested in the 787 is the reduced cabin altitude and the humidifiers!

Exact same oil in the 787 ACMs as the engines as is pretty much every other ACM out there.

Ok, but we speak about the air supply to the cabin by engine bleed air, do we? I doubt that the Air Cycle Machine is operated with Mobil Jet Oil containing TCP.


The 787 compressors would rather use anti-freeze agents and no TCP oil like a Jet engine.


So it must be a air Quality improvement if air is drawn from the outside instead of dirty bleed air through engines?
