A US Airways flight between Venice and Philadelphia has been redirected to Dublin Airport after members of the crew fell ill.
The plane turned around over the Atlantic this afternoon after seven of the nine flight attendants on board reported symptoms including nausea and dizziness...
 
(How long until someone wonders if they had the fish?)

Wonder if it's the same 767 that has had that issue in the past.

A crewmember I know (not on the flight ) said her guess fumes.

It's an A330-200

I was just about to say that a 767 only uses 6 flight attendants. But since it was 700UW, I was gonna say WRONG!!! Lol... You know he would do it.

There's really no need to continually prove yourself a complete moron at every possible opportunity...Just sayin'. I hope those who fell ill are doing well.

There has got to be more to this story.  If it's fumes, or something airborne, how can only the nine flight attendants (that's the full cadre) be so affected by this, and nothing mentioned of the sick pilots or sick passengers?
 
It couldn't be the inflight food, since it would be way to early in the flight for the crew to have eaten and get sick.
 
My guess is "big find" food a flight attendant carried on board to share:   "Wow, guys!  This (fill in the blanks) that I got yesterday in Venice (and didn't bother to refridgerate all night) is SOOOO delicious.  You just have to try some...."

Agreed.   Another possibility is that the FAs all went out to eat together the day before while in Venice and encountered a restaurant that deserved a "C" rating for lack of cleanliness/food handling.

Hope you aren't flying today after last night's bender.

Unless passengers were affected this time, it's beginning to look like a clumsy repetitive work action.

Work action by whom and for what?  Yea, they're probably all really pissed by the HUGE raises they just got.
 
Dude, you're an idiot.
