Now, following years of suffering in silence, Baird and Weiss joined Penny Hill — the widow of Capt. Dave Hill, who took his own life in 2016 — to speak with The Charlotte Observer about their respective ordeals. They allege that their exposure to toxic fumes in the cabin on that January day triggered the crew members’ downward turns and demises, even if the claims are challenging to prove. And they’re angry at an airline industry they feel has done little over the past 15 years to improve measures that could protect crew and passengers alike from these so-called “fume events,” which although rarely as severe as theirs still carry health risks. “We just want people to be aware. To stop it from happening,” Baird says. “Because it ruined my life. It ruined all of our lives.”
