damn!
I know I get sick flying all the times.I cant explain the sickness/feeling but it takes day b4 it goes away?
I know the idiots never air out the planes, they only rely on filters and recycle the same sick bacteria/virus-infested air over and over!?
all they had to do is to open both the back and front doors to the planes while cleaning. But the last report I saw indicated that they do not do that?
humanity owes itself to rid itself from all imposed stupidities, I can name 100s of them!

deep vein thrombosis?

Well if it’s caused as a result of the design of the aircraft, you must complain to the manufacturer, not the airline, of course you can still hold contempt for the airline, since they didn’t speak about it, assuming they all knew themselves.

indeed I was trying to broaden the discussion.
Besides I’m one of those who got DVT after several long-haul flights… this was over a decade ago (before everyone knew about the links witth flying)
But did I get any ‘compensation’ from the airlines (who had known about the links for several years if not decades)… not a chance!
I’d imagine its much the same with this sort of ‘poisoning… they’ve probably known about it for ages.

Well, maybe so, but this video was about the bleed air from the air intake through the engines affect on passengers and crew, not the affects of burning jet fuel, and it’s affects on the environment.

Also, once the new 787 is out later this year, and the 747-8, which is out sometime next year I believe, they are to be more fuel efficient, and like in the video, the intake air system is not through the engines anymore, so it will be safer for the passengers and crew inside.

You say “nothing more than kerosene” but firstly kerosene is a fosil fuel made from crude
Its a complex hydrocarbon molecule & burning is just a ‘chemical reaction’ & what is created is nano-hydrocarbon ‘soot particles’
These act as ‘seeds’ around which H2o (condensation) forms.. the chemical reaction between the hydrocarbons & the water creates ‘acidic’ particles which don’t dissipate like condensation but grow into a ‘pseudo-sirrus’ clouds & spread out into a ‘Haze’ which ‘dims’ the sun

Yea, jet fuel is nothing more than kerosene, Grade Jet-A fuel is nothing more than kerosene, and people have kerosene lamps and heaters, burning them prolly more frequently than they fly.

Well, at average flight levels like 30,000 feet, etc. all aircraft that can fly that high will have contrails, depending on how cold it is at their level, but anything @ or above FL300, they are more than likely to have contrails.

ok so they fuel dump at 30,000 feet over the sea.. it still makes a ‘mist’ which travels on the jet-stream or whatever & still rains down on us
However my main point was about the additives to jet fuel which, when burnt, create complex hydro-carbons which in turn act as the ‘seed particle’ for H2O to attach itself to.. thus creating manmade ‘chemical clouds’ not just ‘condensation-trails’
The chemical make up of the upper atmosphere is very different too, so its had unforseen effects.

Thx for the info, I would never of known!!

Ummm, yea, right!

Look, I am an aviation enthusiast, I think I know.

They don’t just dump fuel for any old reason, they only dump fuel if they are horribly overweight for landing, be it an emergency landing. They also dump fuel on some transatlantic flights, if they are getting good fuel mileage, and they need to get rid of it, but they don’t just say, well, let’s dump some fuel here. The only place they can dump fuel is over the ocean, where it’s safe, rather than over land, on people.
