Cars get the same problems and probably at a much higher frequency. These things happen. Anyway, I think the public are too paranoid. I say they have lights above everyone's seat that says "Fuel Low" and the pilots should be able to switch them on and off at will.
Or there's always the intercom light ruse. That's a quick way to get sacked.

It's a PA light. Aircraft do not have intercoms to speak to passengers, they have a PA system. I got that from the Bluff yor way on the Flight Deck book.
The fact is this should not be happening. Prevention is better than cure - it is easier to replace the seals than risk an accident due to a drowsy pilot at the controls.

Hi guys
Ermmm Tonks - do you think I should scare BT with stories of the DC8 crew who fell asleep and were 500NM out over the Pacfic before SFORDO
managed to wake them up using SLCL?
Or alternativtley - many years ago waking up after nodding off in the jumpseat of a B727 inbound from Lajes to BOS over Kennebunkport
(Last VOR before Logan proper and the start of most of the westbound STARs) To find three other people on the flight deck all snoring gently
BT - As Tonks says - crews train for that constantly thats scare mongering
by the media (Probably written by Monty Orangeball)
Leif :-$

Havent read the whole article but saw the words "Flybe" and "passenger jet". Unfortunately there have been various incidents of this with the 146 and the ALF-502 engine. I believe its something thats in the engine oil that vapourises and is transmitted through the air con (presumably pressurised cabin air is belw off from the engine's compressors). Its been known for crew to arrive on their aircraft and find it hanging in the air in the cockpti apparently.
I dont think that its the smoke causes visual impairement like a fog, more that it is to a degree intoxicating :sad:
