Yep, engine manufacturer, airframer, FAA, airlines... All want to pretend it's not a problem.

It definitely IS a problem, especially for those that have to breath that stuff 70-90 hours a month.

The only thing that’s going to motivate them to do anything about it is lawsuits from crewmembers that have gotten sick from fume events.

Is there a way to share some of the events with an ALPA 320 driver at a different airline? I think we all need to have SA on these events for our own health and well-being as well as for our passengers.

I’m at a different airline but stumbled on this thread here. Anyone here with firsthand experience with symptoms from fume events and ideas to treat it? Not many doctors know what to do or even believe this can happen to airline crew. Feel free to PM me or post any ideas
