As did a few of you. In the oxygen scenario above at preflight there is no
"known" issue with the masks. However in the example above during the flight something breaks and causes the oxygen to freeflow from a mask. The idea behind keeping the oxygen off is to ensure should you have an emergency that requires oxygen, that you will have it.
Apparently this happened and was the result of a leak on one of the cabin passenger masks. When they went to use the masks they found there was no oxygen on board. The suggestion given was to keep the oxygen turned off to avoid this happening. It is a simple flick of the oxygen lever.
I am not condoning the idea and not the one suggesting it. I am just asking for advice from the peanut gallery.
