Lets hope this Cabin Air Safety Act gets passed to establish a framework. https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-...nate-bill/1626

But what I'm trying to understand is why now ? Why the sudden uptick in these fume/odor events ? Are we doing something different mx wise that now all of sudden we have this happening almost every week.

No, I completely sympathize with the people that suffered from actual smoke/odor/fume events. I've been in that situation a few times myself.

Because we just recently became aware of what dirty sock smell was. I've smelled it multiple times in my career. We always chocked it up to dirty or wet packs. We weren't aware of tcp poisoning until a crusade by a spirit FO who is out work probably forever started briefing all the MEC's within ALPA.
Then one of our own had it happen to him and he is out probably forever with respiratory issues, and it's even effecting is mental functions. He couldn't even remember his birthday!
The FAA also signed off on an extended seal replacement schedule that is nearly 10x's the previous length.
The reason for the uptick is simply an increased awareness of what is actually happening! I applaud it!

Chronic exposure and genetic variation are major factors as to why crew members may have a different response vs the person who flies once every 5 years.
