Hi,
Just noticed this in Aircraft General Knowledge. It made me smile.
Why's that then?
Very dodgy!!

jonno,
Do cathay allow babies under 2 to sit on their parents laps ?. If so there surely there is an issue with safety if what you say is true !
Perhaps however this was in a class which rarely has 100 % load factor ?
Dunno, never flown cathay,

There are no single masks, at least on Boeing and Airbus aircrafts. There are 2 masks minimum, even in toilets, C/A stations and crew rest bunks.

Well, Can`t believe none of you knows why is that! Before reading the airplane general you should read JAROPS!
Airplanes certificated above 25000 feet must have quick doning type oxygen masks for all seats plus 10% more distributed evenly along the airplane. That is why every row has 1 mask more, all toilets and FAs stations!
Cheers!

Dontsink,
actually the JAR state the 10% more masks AND 2 masks for each individual compartment such as C/A stations, toilets and crewrests bunks. The double mask are not a part of the 10%.
