Crew members hospitalized after fume event

Since this is atleast a weekly occurrence these days. How much are they really trying to save on MX these days? This is getting ridiculous, we make the news more than Allegiant these days.

It is odd in this instance that 2 crew members and zero passengers were taken to the hospital. . .We are all breathing the same air.

You really going to play doctor here?

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.

Some interesting papers:

There is a ton of info out there on this topic. Over the past few years it has started to come into the spotlight.

Fume events are being reported insdustry wide with high frequency. But since you're upset let's play along and pretend that this is isolated to JB.

Interesting indeed. It seems like any kind of smell in the cabin these days is grounds for a diversion and a trip to the hospital. Something doesn't add up here.

Alaska 's last was Jul 24 (AS-792) pax taken away in ambulances...
July 16 (AS-24) crew declares emergency and diverts for odors.

American July 16 (AA-1927) foul odor...

American June 4 (AA-65) 2 FA's to the hospital.

British Airways Jul 12 (BA 6495) entire cabin crew to the hospital.

British Airways Jul 7 (BA-631) Medical checks for entire crew

This is just a quick search from this summer. There are dozens of them out there.

Well hopefully you never have to know people who are never coming back to the line because of this.

Nightowl and softman are B6 apologists/defenders so disregard their pro-company myopia.
