I simply don't fly any more. It's just not something I'll do. The last three times I flew, I got sick as well. Cabin filters are obviously not changed as regularly as they used to be. And Boeing's $6 an hour employees will literally KILL YOUR WHOLE FAMILY through their negligence as the Boeing compliance people chuckle about fooling the FAA in email chains.

Am I getting sick on the plane, or in the waiting area? Standing in line at TSA? Does the stress of time change, poor rest, and unfamiliar diet come into play? Are the microbrial threats in different geographies different enough to be able to defeat my immune system?

All that withstanding, I think you're right. The cabin filters are obviously dirty. /s

When you step onto a plane and the air smells worse than a dirty sock that's been been used to clean up after sex and left to ferment for a month, yet, it's fair to blame the plane.

Gross!
