Oregon Finally Legalizes Pumping Your Own Gas After 72 Years

I agree with you that it's common, and it should get more attention than it does. My parent post is discussing the causes, which do not involve "airlines pumping exhaust into the cabin", and refuting the incorrect idea that they stopped using bleed air "for a few years".

I never mentioned bleed air, and trying to distinguish between oil fumes generated from the engines and engine exhaust is pedantic, at best.

Bleed air is (on any type except 787) what you are breathing in the cabin whenever the doors are closed and ground AC equipment is removed, so your post was implicitly about bleed air. It’s the air that is “pumped into the cabin”.

Exhaust and oil fumes both get into cabin air through non-normal situations. They’re not “pumped in by airlines”, and suggesting that they are (or that they stopped for a while and then started again thinking nobody would notice) is sensationalist drivel.
