EasyJet claims it has a miraculous new volcanic ash detector

The current known safe threshold for ash in jet engines is zero.

In that there is volcanic ash at non-zero concentrations throughout
the entire troposphere and often well higher, to avoid risk of
failure we had all better stay on the surface.

You're free to take the risk if you wish. I don't want to be on the plane.
There are too many memorials to people who underestimated risks.

It's OK. Your panic reaction to flying is something you share with many
others. No one can judge you for the fact that you are terrified to tears
as soon as you see an airplane. Just do us a favor and do not try to
confuse this irrational panic respone with any form of reason, particularly
in the presence of others who fly planes and who know how dissociated you
are. You can get help for your phobia, but please stop trying to make us
think that your fear of flying is in any way pilots' fault. that's a cheap
out and will not help you overcome your problem.

What risk?

There is in fact volcanic ash at non-zero concentrations throughout the
entire troposphere and often well higher most of the time.

I don't want to be on the plane.

We are all well aware you don't want to be on any real airplane as you
have already said this many times.

Another irrelevent red herring.

That would be any jet driven airplane flown anywhere in the world,
given that is how widely dispersed volcanic is. There are many who
also overestimate risks. The more rational approach is to weigh risk
and benefits without one's thumb or ego on the scale.

I did feed the troll, sorry guys.

So how would you weigh the risks with significant amounts of ash in the air
from a nearby volcano? The airlines cared only about money, not safety, so
their "evaluation" of risk was straightforward, and again thanks to money,
they twisted the arms of aviation authorities.

Alaska Airlines does have a policy for volcanic ash, but nobody asked them
about it, apparently.

Through testing, which up until recently was a non-issue because of the
paucity of ash for any significant period of time in anyplace that anyone
cared much about.

That has changed.
