Default Fume event

Does anyone have a list of our A/C that are previous fume event birds?

Heard we had a cabin crew go to the ER recently......

Depends on your definition of fume event. Had one in the last couple weeks.... only 2 of 5 FAs agreed they smelt something. They went to the ER to get checked out even though they denied any symptoms. Gonna go ahead and say that tail # was just fine.

Haha... ok. Outside of US term used interchangeably.

Call up front started with “I saw on the FB group this plane was having issues”.

Please don’t distribute a list of tail numbers...

I'm sorry, but our massive amount of fume events are grade A bull****.

There is a lot of hype.... FAs are smelling normal fuel/engine smells after engine start and are calling the flight deck to report bull**** fume events.

This crap needs to stop. It is taking away from legit fume events, and makes it hard when a crew has a legit event, to diagnose and take seriously...

FYI, we have had 6 "fume" events in the last week. I'm not a company man, but that is bull****.

WTF?
Please walk away from aviation.

Fume events are a credible threat and every time a concern is raised it should be taken seriously. Sorry for your inconvenience! It’s alarming that you carry people around with that atttitude.

And BTW, you are a company man, maybe you just don’t know it.

You should also be aware of MX removing log pages that reference a fume event. They do this so you’ll not know if the plane has had them in the recent past.

What? Removing the pink pages? Isn't this illegal? All the pages within the logbook are supposed to continue in order.

Did it by "accident" ok well we can just sit and wait until we get a faxed copy I guess.

Have you personally seen this? I've seen our maintenance take a huge dive in the last six months, but that would be crossing all kinds of red lines.

The guy who questions other people’s sick calls and fume events when he wasn’t there? It doesn’t get more company man than that.
