I believe many pilots and FAs are silently suffering or don’t even know it’s this that is affecting them. It’s very well established organophosphates are horrible substances and can enter the bleed air system. I think what some people dispute is whether the chemicals are in high enough concentration to seriously affect people.
There should be definitive answers on this and filtration and detection systems proven to work deployed until bleed air is phased out. Also medical tests to prove organophosphate injury would be nice for us. I’m stating the obvious but it needs way more attention.
ALPA should take a strong lead on this
All correct.
So many guys have no idea how serious this really is. Had a guy recently tell me that it's just a bad smell, not harmful. What do you think is causing that smell genius! You are breathing a contaminate, that isn't supposed to be there and not supposed to be entering your body! It's not "just a smell"...
