Unknown Chemicals

You guys were exposed to unknown chemicals and deserve a pay raise because of that? What unknown chemicals?

If you don’t know what is being talked about, then it doesn’t matter to you.

If we knew, we would not be stating “Unknown Chemicals”!

Your posting history implies you’re a United pilot. So your contract was just signed and you have a few years until you can attempt to get another pay raise based on “Unknown Chemicals” then. Irrelevant to you now.

I was exposed, but I didn’t inhale. (Just couldn’t resist…)

It's like sex and carrier landings. If you haven't done it, there's no way to explain it to you. If you have done it, there's no need to explain it to you.

Many. The company was removing the HEPA air filters to save money. Sure had more than one wet sock smell event.

For those of us who do work here, and pay attention, what the heck are you guys talking about?

I was woken up by an unknown chemical mist coming from my AC vent while layover in CAN, started coughing and eyes watering immediately. Also at least a dozen times, there be a marshmallow dude walking down the hallways spraying a mister with unknown chemical. Don’t know how many times while turning through CHY-NA, they marshmallows came on board and sprayed the cargo bay, galley and cockpit with unknown chemicals, they would also spray down the inside of the crew busses before and after we rode them, so there.
