Fairechild's startling revelations were covered extensively bynational and international media. As she was too ill to travel, journalists andtelevision production crews traveled to Hawaii for interviews. Reuters News Service,Forbes, Dateline, and Hardcopy, among others, picked up the story. As the news traveledaround the world, it angered passengers and unsettled Washington bureaucrats.
Fairechild's personal experience being sprayed by pesticides hundreds of times hadbeen devasting.
As an international flight attendant, pesticide was sprayed right onDiana's skin. She began to realize something was very wrong when her eyes swelled up thesize of golf balls on flights when pesticide was sprayed.
Looking for answers, shewent to a doctor and found that the pesticide used on airplanes was toxic. The doctortested her in a double blind study and found she was having an allergic reaction to thatpesticide. Diana tried avoiding the flights with pesticides, but it was impossible. Withno other alternative, she was forced to give up flying.
Diana Fairechild took hercase all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court and, although she never recouped any money,she has not given up the fight for others.
