Flybe Pilots and Crews Refuse to Fly Because of ‘Noxious’ Air
Published by AirlineFanatic | Filed under discount airlines
The BBC is reporting that several Flybe pilots and crews are refusing to work on the the discount carrier’s Aerospace 146 fleet. According to the BBC, there have been 10 leaks of contaminated air over the past 15 months. One one flight, two attendants fainted in midflight and the entire crew had to be hospitalized upon landing. If the air crews were having this tough a time, its hard to imagined how unseasoned travelers would deal with the same air quality problems.
Of course Flybe corporate says: “Flybe is completely confident that its aircraft are operated and maintained to the highest industry standards.” Not that they would ever admit anything if something was in fact amiss. Either way, the problem will be gone soon enough - Flybe is phasing out the 146 by February 2008.
