I have logged two previous notes relevant to this subject:


1. Air Astana flight BKK - ALA travels well west of Almaty before turning 170 (not quite 180) to return to Almaty
If emergency descent over terrain is not a problem then why do they do this?


2. Garuda have still not re-fitted O2 in lavatories on 737-800's.
What is the prospect for someone in toilet getting back to O2 supply before a) passing out 2) dying - especially if modesty lures them into trying to get their pants back on first
