New story from the DM - Captain had to take over control from FO who was overcome by fumes in the cockpit on ATH-LHR flight 2nd January - MAYDAY called prior to landing -
  1. Flight BA633 was four miles from Heathrow when pilot at controls fell ill
  2. Captain took charge, raised the alarm and put on an oxygen mask
  3. A320 aircraft landed two minutes later and was grounded for 48 hours
  4. Ill pilot was seen by medical staff and allowed home after a check up
  5. BA said passengers disembarked as normal and were unaware of the drama
  6. Almost 300 'fume events' were reported on BA flights last year and almost 100 cases of alleged 'aerotoxicity' have been brought against the airline
  7. The incident is being investigated by Air Accident Investigation Board (AAIB)
