You are quite correct, dead right.
The unthinkable has happened.
If, by design, 'just in case' this scenario were to happen, an automatic drop down O2 mask were to appear in front of a pilot and he then reasoned that he had better put it on, just in case, then the pilot would suddenly not only have saved his own life, but the aeroplane and all of the passengers.
Would not this 'yet to to be tried' new system of auto drop down O2 for pilots too be worth considering or do we need yet more proof that pilots are quite capable of making extremely basic mistakes in a well known 'gotchya' enviornment of lack of O2?
Has drop down O2 for pliots ever been considered or maybe it is used on some aeroplanes?
And if not? Why not?
Sorry to keep banging on about it, but......
