Interesting read:

Nocookies | The Australian

If the paywall blocks you, type 'Flight crew spaced out on fumes' and it should appear and be viewable.

Many years ago didn't the then Ansett Australia's BaE146 have allegedly similar problems with fumes in the passenger cabin?

But didn't passengers as well as crew get affected.Here only the crew acted strange.Or is that really strange on BA.

drron, the article suggests that one passenger felt ill.

Are you suggesting it was a union ply of some sort?

Did you see what the passenger complained of?
Tightness in the chest and headaches ever since but not acting strangely.Only the crew acted strangely.

Just a weirdly written article that barely mentions the pax, although it sounds like lots were affected.

It states only 1.This occurred in October.Wouldn't you think that if lots of pax were affected it would have hit Social Media pretty quickly?

So I googled BA flights diverting to Vancouver and came up with this-
5 questions about British Airways Flight 286 emergency landing in Vancouver - British Columbia - CBC News

The airline has said 25 crew members went to hospital — as a precaution — but it's not clear how many were actually ill.
An initial statement said "a crew member required medical attention," but by Tuesday afternoon the company said "several crew members reported feeling unwell."
"When we landed, the crew came and got their luggage and left immediately, and we're all sitting there looking around," said passenger Don Blaser, irritated that customers were left on the plane.

This seems strange. Surely if so many crew were acting in a manner that was out of the ordinary, you'd expect a larger number of passengers to be reported doing the same?

I had the reverse on BA27 just before Christmas. I felt very hazy and lightheaded whilst the crew didn't seem to be affected.

I thought that was a result of the 5 martinis etc....

And just how many G&Ts and carafes of claret had been consumed?
Or had that all been consumed by the crew leaving you....well hazy and lightheaded?

I vaguely remember getting from the Concorde Room to the gate, but the gate op up to F is a bit sketchy!! .
