Germanwings 4U887 emergency landing in Pisa

Friend of mine tweets after an emergency landing of 4U887 in Pisa, originally from Rome to Cologne https://twitter.com/HornCologne/stat...65846050553856
Bad air mix in the cabin apparently. They said some folks were feeling faint.
Was there smoke on board?
I don't think so. Fire trucks followed us in to the terminal and firemen came on board immediately. We're all in the terminal now.

4U had a similar incident this week: http://avherald.com/h?article=48bb00ba&opt=0

After some incidents last year on LH and 4U A32S aircraft crews have been sensitized and take actions very early on...

Today's 4U ops are a mess. Even before this incident many cancelled flights.

What's a "bad air mix without smoke" ... what's up there to mix in with air?

Ever since the incident in December 2010 LH and 4U A32S pilots initiate immediate descent on smoky odor: http://www.dw.com/en/gases-caused-ne...ane/a-16274783

Ah ... good ol'flysurfer's favourite anti-airline topic. I fondly remember those battles.
