Default Filtered Bleed Air?

Hey there. So it’s no question you guys have had some awful encounters of “Wet Sock”. I know of the crew in 2015 ORD-BOS of which the Captain passed away a couple months later. I believe the FO no longer flies.

I just heard of another very unsettling instance back in January 2018. Akron-FLL.

I have had an episode of “Wet Sock” and ever since have read as much as I can about it. I read something interesting, recently, on Aerotoxic.org.

It said Easy Jet and Spirit Airlines have committed to Filtered Air. Now I found an article about Easy Jet and how they have already begun testing etc, but there is nothing I can find about Spirit.

Is this something that is legitimately in the works over there? Has your management said this is going to be addressed and implemented?

I really really hope so. It will only force the hands of other Bus operators if you guys are one of the first. We as crew and passengers deserve it.

Thank you.
