If that's true, I know nothing about it. That sounds pretty high tech for Boeing's antique, but I'm certainly open to learning something new!

Alaska company policy is to run in the “compact mode”. Keeps that DU available as a live spare for the other five. As in it is cheaper

Up front we can put on the masks. But, what do you do in the back as a deadhead or jump seat in a fume event? Is there a mask that will filter TCP short of MOPP 4 level gear? How do we protect ourselves in the cheap seat?

Here you go:

Amazon too. Just be sure you get their Techno mask as that filters gases.

It’ll fold fairly flat so I carry one in my brain bag and is relatively quick donning. Pick a few up for your family to have when traveling.
