1. Why? The rest of the world saw the light in 1990's, some time after the introduction of EROS quick-donning maks, and...

2. So NZ has a fleet of 787s capable of flight higher than FL410, but your part 91.209 requires one pilot to be continuously on O2 above that level. Does anyone actually believe that happens?


All of that aside, 18K to close the books on this guy sounds like a bargain.
