Flight Crew Overcame Equipment Problem
Aircraft
After takeoff I smelled dirty socks; dirty feet odor. Flight Attendant 1 smelled it as well. Captain said it was a fume event. In the cockpit the odor was much stronger the in the forward galley. First Officer said she felt burning in her throat when the event occurred. Company report was filled out. Couple hours later; at the hotel my eyes and face were very red; felt a little congested the next day. Keeping the planes well-maintained; or retire them if the problem cannot be fixed so these dangerous events will not occur. It can be dangerous for the crew's and passengers' health.
