Not a comfortable experience or position to be in. Made me seriously evaluate if I want to continue working in an industry that actively denies an event I legitimately experienced. I'm furious that the issue isn't taken more seriously by our unions, companies, and aircraft manufacturers.
hope your doing well with no physical ramifications. I got my mask on within seconds of smelling it on my event and felt fine and turned down the ER visit. In hindsight I probably should’ve gone. So far no effects months later. No amount of money is worth our long term health.
